1982 Map of Mt. Hilgard

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Lake Italy sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape, surrounded by a dense concentration of glacial basins and granite summits within the Sierra National Forest. The map detail captures the remote character of the John Muir Wilderness during the early 1980s, documenting a network of trails including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses the divide between Fresno and Inyo counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of Piute Canyon and French Canyon to the sharp peaks of Bear Creek Spire and Mount Julius Caesar. A whimsical naming convention is evident in the lake clusters near Mt Hilgard, with Teddy Bear Lake, Brown Bear Lake, and Beartrap Lake grouped together. This survey provides essential data for researchers tracing the historical placement of high-country routes such as Italy Pass and Selden Pass.
