1992 Map of Yosemite Falls

About this map

Yosemite Village serves as the focal point of human activity at the southern edge of this study, positioned near the valley floor where the Courthouse and the administrative reach of the Yosemite National Park meet the high Sierra. The map details the dramatic verticality of the landscape, tracing the descent of Upper Yosemite Fall and Lower Yosemite Fall into the valley. Beyond the developed corridor, the Yosemite Wilderness dominates the central and northern sections, accessible via Tioga Road and a network of remote sites like the Snow Creek Ranger Cabin. The drainage of Yosemite Creek and the granite massifs of Half Dome, North Dome, and Mount Hoffmann illustrate the complex glacially-carved topography that defines the Tuolumne and Mariposa county line.
