1956 Map of Yosemite

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Yosemite Village serves as the focal point of human activity within this mid-century survey of the glacier-carved valley. The map documents the extensive network of early automotive routes, including the Coulterville Road and Wawona Road, which facilitated the growth of tourism and infrastructure. Evidence of early resource management and utility development appears at the Yosemite Powerhouse, while the presence of the Star Mine near the southeastern boundary reflects the region's diverse economic history before the shift toward conservation and recreation.
