1982 Map of North Palisade

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Kings Canyon National Park dominates this 1982 survey, capturing the high-elevation wilderness along the border of the Inyo National Forest. The map documents the intricate glacial geography of the Sierra Nevada, most notably the Palisade Glacier situated beneath the towering summits of North Palisade and Thunderbolt Peak. This landscape is defined by the steep descent of the Kings River drainage, where the Middle Fork flows through Le Conte Canyon past the Le Conte Ranger Station. Significant meadows such as Grouse Meadow and Big Pete Meadow offer brief breaks in the granite terrain. The route of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail is clearly delineated as it traverses the Inyo National Forest and Wilderness Boundary at Bishop Pass, providing a detailed record of the trail's path before modern variations.
