About this map

Humphreys Basin and the high-altitude divide of the Sierra Nevada dominate this mid-century topographic study, which captures the rugged border between the Sierra National Forest and Inyo National Forest. The landscape is defined by its massive peaks, including Mt Goddard, Mt Darwin, and Mt Huxley, and the intricate glacial basins that feed the North Fork Bishop Creek and Middle Fork Bishop Creek.

Mineral exploration is evident throughout the eastern slopes, with the Cardinal Mine (Inactive) and several prospects like the Merrill Prospect and Sally Peterson Mine indicating the region's mining history. High-country travel is documented via a network of routes across Piute Pass and Muir Pass, connecting remote areas such as Evolution Valley and the Ionian Basin. Recreation and water management appear at Camp Sabrina and the nearby Lake Sabrina, illustrating how this wilderness was navigated and utilized in the early 1950s.
