1956 Map of Mendota Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The San Joaquin River defines the central character of this 1956 landscape, where complex water management infrastructure meets industrial agriculture at the boundary of Madera and Fresno counties. The Mendota Dam and the adjacent Mendota Pool serve as a vital hydraulic hub, regulating flows between the Delta-Mendota Canal, the Chowchilla Canal, and the Fresno Slough. This network of canals, including the Aliso Canal and Columbia Canal, reveals the intensive engineering required to sustain the region's large-scale ranching operations.
