1964 Map of Lanes Bridge

About this map

The San Joaquin River forms a natural boundary between Madera and Fresno counties, defined here in the mid-1960s by a series of irrigation and drainage systems. The Madera Canal cuts through the northern landscape, crossing Little Dry Creek via a series of flumes as it skirts the base of Little Table Mountain. Near the settlement of Lanes Bridge, the river environment is characterized by distinct landforms like Island No 1 and Island No 2, alongside a Gaging Station and several gravel pits that indicate the local extractive industry of the era.
