1994 Map of Split Mtn

About this map

Split Mountain and the high Sierra crest form the backbone of this 1990s wilderness survey, where the boundary between Inyo National Forest and Kings Canyon National Park follows the jagged ridgeline. The landscape is defined by its glacial activity, featuring the Middle Palisade Glacier and the Split Mountain Glaciers, which feed high-altitude basins like the Upper Basin and Big Pine Lakes. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for industrial activities at the northern edge, including the Blue Star Mines and an Open Pit Mine. Notable peaks such as Norman Clyde Pk and Temple Crag dominate the terrain, while travelers are shown utilizing high-altitude crossings like Mather Pass and Southfork Pass to navigate the steep divides of the John Muir Wilderness.
