1944 Map of Merced Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Merced River and Tuolumne River dominate this Central California landscape, where the foothills of the Sierra Nevada meet the irrigation-rich valley floor. The Yosemite Valley RR follows the southern riverbank through Merced Falls and Exchequer, a critical transportation link for the region's timber and minerals before mid-century reservoir expansions. In the north, the Don Pedro Reservoir is already a prominent feature, surrounded by legacy mining operations such as the Fortynine Mine, Solambo Mine, and Buzzard Roost Mine.
