About this map

El Capitan and Half Dome tower over the valley floor in this mid-century survey of the high Sierra landscape. The map details the early development of recreational infrastructure, from the Badger Pass Ski Area to several established campgrounds such as Stovepipe Campground and Crowsfoot Campground. A network of early automobile routes including Wawona Road and Glacier Point Road provides access to world-famous natural features, while administrative points like Chinquapin Ranger Sta and the South Entrance Sta mark the management of the park's expanding traffic.
