1903 Map of Tehipite

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The High Sierra backcountry is defined by the massive drainage systems of the Kings River and the Middle Fork Kaweah River as they appeared just after the turn of the century. This landscape represents a transitional era for the region, where early industrial activity at the Abbott Mill and the settlement of Hume existed alongside the newly established General Grant Grove Section. The map illustrates the early 20th-century boundary lines between Fresno and Tulare counties, cutting through a wilderness of granite landmarks like Tehipite Dome and The Sphinx. The presence of several remote Ranger Stations and the Esham Valley Sch. suggests the early infrastructure of the park service and local mountain communities before modern tourism reached its peak. Genealogists and historians can trace the early trails and fords used by early travelers through Tunemah Pass and the granite basins of the Nine Lake Basin.
