Scale anchored to a reviewed measurement
Uniform scaling uses NPS base-to-summit relief; the direction-specific historical thickness does not deform the contour.
Half Dome
Half Dome is shown in its current natural state. Its vertical scale uses the NPS rise of 4,733 ft (1,442.6 m) from the valley; a historically documented maximum northwest-to-southeast thickness of 1,500 ft (457.2 m) is recorded without deforming the outline.

Measurement basis
The visual uses a vertical base-to-summit anchor. The historical horizontal thickness is not used to force the complete contour width.
