1990 Map of Tenaya Lake

About this map

Tioga Road winds through this high-country landscape, providing the primary access to the granite-dominated heart of Yosemite National Park. This 1990 edition illustrates a carefully managed wilderness environment where designated recreation sites like the Tenaya Lake Campground and May Lake High Sierra Camp sit alongside deep backcountry routes. The map documents the intricate network of footpaths, including the legendary John Muir Trail as it traverses the Cathedral Range. From the heights of Clouds Rest to the dramatic depths of Tenaya Canyon, the survey captures the complex drainage patterns of Tenaya Creek and Cathedral Creek. Notable landmarks like Olmsted Point and the prominent Pywiack Dome serve as key navigational markers for explorers of the Yosemite Wilderness.
