1997 Map of Tamarack Flat

About this map

Yosemite National Park and the Yosemite Wilderness dominate this high-country landscape, where the geography of the Sierra Nevada is traced through its drainage systems and recreation hubs. The map follows the critical corridor of Tioga Road, which provides access to seasonal settlements like the White Wolf Campground and Tamarack Flat Campground. These locales, along with McSwain Meadows, reflect the late 20th-century management of the park's interior. The terrain is defined by the steep descents of the Middle Tuolumne River and the South Fork Tuolumne River, fed by high-elevation water bodies such as Siesta Lake and several prominent drainages including Cascade Creek and Ribbon Creek. The Tuolumne Co Mariposa Co line cuts across the southern portion of the sheet near Boundary Hill, marking the administrative divide in this protected wilderness area.
