1990 Map of Tioga Pass

About this map

Tuolumne Meadows and the high Sierra peaks define this high-altitude landscape where Yosemite National Park, Hoover Wilderness, and Inyo National Forest converge. The terrain is marked by the Conness Glacier beneath Mount Conness, surrounded by a dense network of alpine water bodies including Saddlebag Lake, McCabe Lakes, and the Gaylor Lakes. Evidence of early industrial and scientific interest in the region remains visible through the Great Sierra Mine, the Hess Mine, and the Carnegie Institute Experimental Station. Near the southern edge, the map details the visitor infrastructure around the Tioga Road corridor, featuring Parsons Memorial Lodge, Soda Springs, and Lembert Dome. The presence of Bennettville reflects the area's mining history, while the proximity of various campgrounds and the Tioga Pass entry point highlights its role as a critical transition between the Yosemite high country and the eastern Sierra slope.
