1901 Map of Mt. Lyell

About this map

Yosemite National Park occupies the central focus of this High Sierra survey, documenting a landscape of dramatic granite landforms and alpine waterways at the turn of the century. The map highlights key glacial features like Fairview Dome and Lambert Dome flanking the expansive Tuolumne Meadows, which served as a critical high-altitude junction for early travel through the range. Notable routes are traced via Cathedral Pass, Tuolumne Pass, and Merced Pass, connecting the drainages of the Tuolumne River and the South Fork Tuolumne River.
