1956 Map of Tuolumne Meadows

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Yosemite National Park and the adjacent Inyo National Forest define this high-altitude landscape during the mid-1950s. The network of Tuolumne Meadows High Sierra Camp, Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp, and Vogelsang High Sierra Camp illustrates the established backcountry infrastructure of the era, centered around Parsons Memorial Lodge. The terrain is dominated by iconic granite formations like Cathedral Peak, Fairview Dome, and the Cathedral Ridge, which separate the myriad glacial basins. The eastern edge of the map reveals the industrial history of the High Sierra, showing the Fahntail Mine and a mill near the Mono and Tuolumne County line. The path of Tioga Road serves as the primary artery through Dana Meadows, providing access to numerous water bodies such as Saddlebag Lake and Tioga Lake.
