About this map

The Merced River and Tuolumne River watersheds define this turn-of-the-century topographic record, captured just after the turn of the century. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where early pioneer ranching and mining intersect with the burgeoning conservation movement. Significant ranching sites like Harden Ranch and Hodgdon Ranch are visible alongside early travel infrastructure such as the Stage Station near the park boundary. The lower elevations show established small settlements like Hite Cove, Kinsley, and Jerseydale, while the high country is marked by the early protected status of Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Forest Reserve.
