About this map

Yosemite National Park and the Inyo National Forest meet along the high-elevation boundary of Tuolumne and Mono counties, defined by the jagged ridgeline of the Tioga Crest. This landscape is dominated by the granite peaks of the Sierra Nevada, including the massive Mt Conness and White Mtn. The hydrology of the area is marked by numerous alpine basins, with the Conness Lakes and Saddlebag Lake feeding into Lee Vining Cr, while the Dana Fork Trail follows the waters toward the southwest.

Evidence of the region's mining and travel history is found in labels like Mine Cr and the Old Tioga Rd. Notable geological landmarks such as Lembert Dome and Puppy Dome stand near Dana Meadows, illustrating the glaciated terrain that characterizes the approach to Tioga Pass. The network of high-altitude trails, including the McCabe Lakes Trail, provides a record of backcountry access through passes like Lundy Pass and Dore Pass.
