About this map

Yosemite National Park dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Sierra Nevada, where glaciated canyons and massive peaks define the terrain as it was documented in 1990. The north-to-south passage of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the heart of the Yosemite Wilderness, crossing significant elevations at Seavey Pass. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage network of the high country, including the headwaters of Piute Creek and Rancheria Creek, which carve deep through Stubblefield Canyon and Thompson Canyon. The presence of substantial water bodies like Tilden Lake and Benson Lake provides a clear view of the basin morphology, while prominent landmarks such as Piute Mountain and Chittenden Peak anchor the topographical study of this protected wilderness area.
