1962 Map of Merced Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The gold-bearing foothills of the Sierra Nevada come into sharp focus through a network of mines and early hydraulic works. Mining activity is densely recorded across Penon Blanco Ridge and the surrounding canyons, with sites such as the Mitchell Mine, Solambo Mine, and Forty-nine Mine marking the region's industrial footprint. Near the Merced River, the landscape is fundamentally altered by dredge tailings and water management infrastructure, including the Snelling Diversion Dam and the Powerhouse at Merced Falls.
