1952 Map of Tehipite Dome

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The High Sierra wilderness of Fresno County is documented here during the early 1950s, centering on the massive granite architecture of Tehipite Dome and the surrounding Tehipite Valley. The landscape is dominated by the deeply carved canyons of the Kings River, including its Middle and South Forks. To the south, the map highlights the Converse Basin and the Gen Grant Grove Section, where the survey outlines specific groves of Sierra Redwoods-Sequoia Gigantea. Settlement is sparse and focused on seasonal or resource-based outposts like Hume at Hume Lake, the historic Camp Seven, and Bartons Resort. High-altitude meadows such as Crown Valley and Round Corral Meadow provide breaks in the vertical terrain, which is otherwise defined by prominent landmarks like Obelisk and the Monarch Divide. This survey captures the region's transition into a more formally managed wilderness area under the jurisdiction of several national forests and parks.
