1905 Map of Tehipite

About this map

The General Grant National Park and Sequoia National Park boundaries define this high-altitude landscape as it appeared in the early 20th century. Surveyed in 1903 with culture updated in the 1920s and 30s, the map reveals a wilderness transition where early forestry and recreation hubs like Hume and Wilsonia are tucked among massive stands of Big Trees. The industrial presence of Abbott Mill contrasts with the remote outposts of Kanawyers and various ranger stations that serviced the High Sierra frontier.
