1962 Map of Melones Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Melones Reservoir and Tulloch Lake dominate this 1962 landscape, marking the industrial transformation of the Stanislaus River canyon. The presence of the Melones Dam and Tulloch Dam highlights the era’s intensive focus on water management and hydroelectric power, with a Powerhouse situated downstream. This transition is further evidenced by the Central Ferry (Site) and the O'Byrne Ferry Historical Monument, indicating where older river crossings were superseded by modern reservoir infrastructure.
