1994 Map of Vogelsang Peak

About this map

Vogelsang High Sierra Camp serves as a central hub for high-altitude exploration within the Yosemite Wilderness, situated amidst the high peaks of the Cathedral Range. This mid-1990s revision by the U.S. Forest Service documents a landscape defined by glacial activity and drainage patterns, where the Lyell Fork Tuolumne River meanders through the broad Lyell Meadows. The map captures the intersection of major high-country routes, including the John Muir Trail and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, as they navigate complex terrain around Vogelsang Pass. To the north, the Tuolumne Meadows Post Office and Visitor Center near Tioga Road mark the gateway to this alpine region. Notable water features such as the Maclure Glacier and numerous high-elevation basins like Ireland Lake and Evelyn Lake highlight the area's hydrology at the headwaters of the Tuolumne.
