Help Identifying National Geographic Map?

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Help Identifying National Geographic Map?

Post by Lenier »

I found this screenshot of a map from a Kaweah Basin trip report online. I remember seeing this map at one point in a park store. National Geographic was of no help identifying it - the person answering their emails said they couldn't identify it! Here's the trip report: https://www.trailnamebackstroke.com/kaweah-basin

Any idea what book or map this was found in?

I reached out to various stores at the National Parks, and turned up the answer - it's an Eric Knight map of the JMT:
