Geologic map of the Tuolumne Meadows Quadrangle, Yosemite National Park, California
Bateman PC, Kistler RW, Busacca A. 1983. Geologic map of the Tuolumne Meadows Quadrangle, Yosemite National Park, California. USGS. Reston, VA. USGS geologic quadrangle map GGQ-1570
The Tuolumne Meadows quadrangle lies mostly within Yosemite National Park where it occupies high glaciated country northeast of Yosemite Valley and just west of the Sierra Divide, but a small area of about 30km2 in the northeast corner is in the Inyo National Forest. The Tioga Road (California Highway 120), a principal highway across the Sierra Nevada, bisects the quadrangle, and numerous trails from the Tioga Road lead into the back country. Altitudes range from 5,600 feet where the Tuolumne River crosses the west boundary of the quadrangle to 12,590 feet at Mount Conness, a peak along the Sierra Divide. Much of the quadrangle lies between 8,000 and 10,000 feet and is snowbound during the winter months.
