1956 Map of Tower Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Tower Peak stands as the literal and figurative high point of this mid-century survey, marking the intersection of Yosemite National Park, Stanislaus National Forest, and Toiyabe National Forest. This high Sierra terrain is a complex of glacial basins and granite summits, where the Tuolumne and Mono County line follows the jagged Saurian Crest. The map reveals a landscape defined by seasonal movement and extraction, noted by the presence of the Montezuma Mine and a Prospect near Summit Meadow.
