About this map

El Capitan and Half Dome dominate the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, which details the established tourism infrastructure and wilderness of the high Sierra. The map highlights the concentration of services at Yosemite Village and Camp Curry along the Merced River, while the southern portion focuses on the historic Wawona area and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. Transportation networks including the Wawona Road and Glacier Point Road provide access to seasonal landmarks like the Badger Pass Ski Area and the South Entrance Station.
