1956 Map of Tuolumne Meadows

About this map

Tuolumne Meadows serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey of the high sierra, where the Tuolumne River begins its descent through a series of dramatic cataracts including Waterwheel Falls and Le Conte Falls. The map documents the established network of high-altitude hospitality, featuring the Tuolumne Meadows High Sierra Camp, Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp, and Vogelsang High Sierra Camp. These backcountry outposts, alongside the Parsons Memorial Lodge at Soda Springs, illustrate the era's focus on accessible wilderness recreation.
