1988 Map of The Sphinx

About this map

Kings Canyon dominates this 1988 survey, revealing the deep glacial carvings and dramatic granite spires of the High Sierra. The confluence of the South Fork Kings River and Bubbs Creek serves as a topographical anchor for the region, where the canyon floor transitions into towering landmarks like the Grand Sentinel and the namesake The Sphinx. This edition provides a record of the landscape as it appeared in the late 1970s and 1980s, documenting the trail networks and footbridges that connected remote high-altitude meadows.
