1992 Map of Mt. Ritter

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Ritter Range peaks dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Ansel Adams Wilderness, a region defined by its glacial basins and prominent summits. The 1990s terrain is marked by a concentration of alpine water bodies, including the expansive Thousand Island Lake and Garnet Lake, which feed the headwaters of the San Joaquin River and Rush Creek. This survey captures the path of the John Muir Trail and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as they navigate through Island Pass and past the eastern flanks of Banner Peak. A notable remnant of extractive activity, the Minaret Mine, sits on the slopes of Volcanic Ridge, contrasting with the surrounding Sierra National Forest and Inyo National Forest. The map provides a detailed view of the complex topography between Mt Ritter and the jagged Minaret Lake basin.
