About this map

The granite landmarks of Yosemite National Park dominate this mid-century survey, from the sheer face of El Capitan to the iconic profile of Half Dome. Along the valley floor, the map details the established visitor infrastructure of the 1950s, including Yosemite Village, Curry Village, and the Happy Isles Nature Center. The Merced River serves as the primary drainage for a landscape punctuated by legendary cataracts like Bridalveil Fall, Nevada Fall, and Vernal Fall.
