1962 Map of Merced Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Industrial and mining activity define this landscape at the border of Mariposa and Merced counties, where the Merced River is managed through a series of significant engineering works. The Exchequer Dam holds back the waters of Lake McClure, while downstream, the Merced Falls Diversion Dam and Snelling Diversion Dam channel water into the North Side Canal and Main Canal. The settlement of Merced Falls serves as a focal point for these water systems, situated near extensive dredge tailings that reveal the scale of historic riverbed excavation.
