The Ash Mountain Entrance Sign at Sequoia National Park was constructed in 1935 by Civilian Conservation Corps craftsmen.

Featuring a carved Native American face, the sign was made from blocks of sequoia wood and fastened with wrought iron brackets.

In 1935 resident park landscape architect Harold G. Fowler created a much larger design.

He recruited CCC worker George W. Muno, who had displayed a talent for woodworking, and they selected a piece of fallen sequoia wood from the Giant Forest.

Fowler sketched the profile in blue chalk on the wood using an Indian Head nickel as a guide.
