1956 Map of Tuolumne Meadows

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Yosemite National Park dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by high-altitude meadows and a specialized network of wilderness camps. The presence of the Glen Aulin, Tuolumne Meadows, and Vogelsang high sierra camps highlights a unique era of backcountry recreation where permanent tent sites supported hikers along the Sunrise Trail and John Muir Trail. In the northern section, the Bennettville (Site) and the Great Sierra Mine serve as reminders of the area's silver mining attempts before the land was fully dedicated to federal protection.
