1952 Map of Tehipite Dome

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Tehipite Dome anchors this high-elevation terrain where the Kings River carves through the Sierra Nevada landscape. The map records a transition in land use, showing the protected reaches of Kings Canyon National Park alongside the industrial and recreational history of the Sierra National Forest. One can trace the legacy of the giant sequoias through named stands like the Converse Basin Grove and Indian Basin Grove, which are explicitly outlined. The settlement of Hume and nearby Hume Lake serve as focal points for local development, while more remote outposts like Bartons Resort and the Crown Valley Guard Station indicate the era's backcountry management. Topographic details highlight dramatic features such as Boyden Cave and the Gorge of Despair, providing a look at the region's complex geology before modern infrastructure extensively altered these corridors.
