About this map

The Mokelumne River serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, illustrating the complex water management and industrial history along the border of San Joaquin and Amador counties. The landscape is defined by the massive Camanche Reservoir and the Camanche Dam, which altered the natural flow and replaced earlier terrain with the Mokelumne River Fish Installation. Agriculture and transportation networks converge at Clements, where the Southern Pacific railroad line runs parallel to several creek beds.

Evidence of historical land use is visible in the Dredge Tailings scattered near the riverbanks and the small settlement of Dogtown along Collier Road. Genealogists may find interest in the Clements Glen View Cemetery and the isolated locale of Robidart to the south. The map also traces the significant path of the Mokelumne Aqueduct, highlighting the region's role in California's larger water infrastructure during this era.
