Snow Flat Snow Survey Shelter
historic place
The Snow Flat Snow Survey Shelter is a historic place in Mariposa County, California. Snow surveys in Yosemite National Park, including at Snow Flat, began in the late 1920s and early 1930s. These surveys measured snowpack depth and water content, helping forecast vital water supplies. Cabins at Snow Flat supported these important activities. Specific historical marker text for the Snow Flat Snow Survey Shelter is not available. The exact year of its erection is also not definitively known. These shelters underscore the long-standing effort to manage California's water resources.
