About this map

Courtright Reservoir and Wishon Reservoir dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Sierra National Forest, revealing a complex mid-century hydroelectric system. The map details the massive infrastructure required to harness the North Fork Kings River, including the Courtright Dam, the Wishon Dam, and a sophisticated Underground Powerhouse connected by a surge chamber and tunnel network. These features illustrate the industrial transformation of the Sierra Nevada to meet California's growing energy demands during the mid-20th century.
