1992 Map of The Sphinx

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Kings Canyon National Park is defined by the dramatic descent into the canyon of the South Fork Kings River, where steep granite formations tower over the valley floor. The map highlights the high-altitude transition from the peaks of the Monarch Divide down to the meadows of the river basin. Cultural history is noted at Kanawyers (Site), a former outpost and supply point, and near the lush Zumwalt Meadows. This 1990s provisional map details the intricate drainage systems that feed the main river, including Bubbs Creek and Sphinx Creek, which flows past the prominent The Sphinx formation. Notable vertical landmarks like North Dome and Grand Sentinel dominate the landscape, providing a clear record of the area's glacial carving before modern modifications reached this portion of the High Sierra.
