About this map

Wawona serves as a central hub on this 2004 revision, situated along the South Fork Merced Wild and Scenic River. This portion of the Yosemite National Park and Sierra National Forest boundary illustrates the infrastructure required to support mountain residency and tourism, from the Wawona School and a Golf Course to the functional Sewage Disposal Plant and Water Tanks. The historic Covered Bridge remains a focal point of the settlement's character near the Gaging Station.

Away from the valley floor, the terrain rises sharply into the Chowchilla Mountains and Turner Ridge. High-altitude landmarks like Signal Lookout, Deer Camp, and Empire Meadows suggest a landscape used for both fire observation and recreational transit. The presence of Battalion Pass and the Wawona Road underscores the critical transportation corridors that have facilitated movement between these protected federal lands for generations.
