1956 Map of Triple Divide Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Triple Divide Peak serves as a hydrographic centerpiece within the high Sierras, marking the intersection of the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park boundaries. This mid-century survey details a landscape transitioning from the recreational developments at Lodgepole and Wolverton to the remote backcountry of the Giant Forest. Historic backcountry shelters and routes like the Ski Hut, Tharps Log, and the High Sierra Trail are meticulously documented, illustrating how park infrastructure was integrated into the natural environment. Further south, the Redwood Meadow Grove and the Sevenmile Hill Trail indicate the preservation of ancient groves and early trail systems. The map also records localized human elements, such as a solitary Grave and a Mine near Elizabeth Pass, providing small but significant clues to the region's human history amidst the peaks of the Kaweah Queen and Black Kaweah.
