"Topographical Map of the Yosemite Valley and Vicinity", U.S. Geographical Survey

The map is a product of Capt. G.M. Wheeler's Expeditions of 1877-79, US Geographic Surveys West of the 100th Meridian. It depicts the state park boundaries and the "toll roads" leading to the park. Also locates early camp facilities, trails, and Indian settlements. Salient geographic features are identified in considerable detail. The skillful rendering of the topography has created a remarkable strong graphic image of this picturesque valley.
