Summary
Sequoia National Park, California. Up the unglaciated lower part of Kaweah River canyon toward the platform on which the Giant Forest stands. Moro Rock (right) owes its prominence in the landscape to the fact that it is composed of massive granite. The platform is also held up mainly by massive granite, but the mountain slopes below have been eroded from normally jointed rocks, partly granitic, partly metamorphic. Circa 1935. Figure 6, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 504-A.
