This map has been reprinted by the Yosemite Association (1996, enlarged to 18x24" or 46x61cm). An earlier map, printed 1931 in black and white by Jo Mora, was limited to 2000 copies and measures 20x26". The black and white has additional features that were later removed, such as the Sentinel Hotel, Zoo, and old Big Oak Flat Road. Artist Joseph Jacinto Mora ("Jo Mora") was born in Uruguay in 1876.
