About this map

General Grant National Park and Sequoia National Park dominate this high-altitude landscape, captured here during the formative years of the federal park system. The map documents an era when logging and conservation were in direct contact, evidenced by the presence of the Sanger Lumber Co. and timber operations like Abbott Mill and Harts Sawmill near the groves of Big Trees. Human presence is concentrated around small hubs like Millwood and the remote Cedar Grove Hotel along the South Fork King River. The terrain is defined by massive granite features including The Sphinx, Moro Rock, and the Gorge of Despair. Geographers E.M. Douglas and R.B. Marshall recorded the intricate network of glacial lakes, such as Marion Lake and Dollar Lake, alongside the early Giant Forest Road.
