Date Taken
1914

Summary

Yosemite National Park, California. Crest of the Sierra Nevada and head of Tuolumne basin. Though deeply scalloped by glacial cirques, this part of the crest still bears remnants of its preglacial topography, thereby showing clearly that the range was never completely domed over by an ice cap. Koip Peak, with unglaciated summit and spur is on the left. Blacktop Peak, also unglaciated, is to the right of center. The unglaciated summit of Parker Peak looms over a saddle in the crest. Lyell Canyon is in the middle distance. Circa 1914. Plate 41-A, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 160.
