Kings Canyon National Park, California. Sculpture of the south wall of Bubbs Creek canyon. The cleft has been eroded by an intermittent stream along a narrow zone of shearing in the granite. In the upper left is the path of a stream whose eroding action has not been favored by fractures. 1925.

Kings Canyon National Park, California. Ice-scoured rock floor of Evolution Basin near Sapphire Lake. In the lower right corner are two crescentric gouges. At left center are curved tension cracks in parallel, overlapping series. The ice came from the left. 1921. Figure 30, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 329.

Kings Canyon National Park, California. Southeast along Glacier Divide, showing marked asymmetry of the crest line resulting from more intense glaciation on the northerly slopes of this ridge. The northerly slopes bear a number of small glaciers, two of which appear in this view. 1921. Figure 22, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 329.

Kings Canyon National Park, California. From John Muir Trail in Evolution Basin: Mount Darwin on the left, Mount Wallace on the right. These two mountains have nearly level summits that are remnants of an ancient erosion surface. The level to which the ice rose in Evolution Basin is indicated by the upper limit of corrosion. Above this level the cliffs are deeply riven by frost and gullied by snow avalanches. 1921. Figure 27, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 329.
