1965 Map of Millerton Lake East

About this map

San Joaquin River canyon walls and the rising waters of Millerton Lake define this mid-1960s landscape on the Fresno and Madera County line. The terrain transitions from the volcanic cap of Kennedy Table and Table Mountain down to the alluvial floor of Auberry Valley. The map documents a diverse infrastructure of mid-century utility and recreation, including the Kerckhoff Powerhouse and a Gaging Station on the river, alongside the Millerton Lake State Recreation Area. To the east, the settlement of Prather sits near the Auberry School and Auberry Cemetery, serving as a local hub for the surrounding ranching and mining country. Small-scale resource extraction is evident at the Sullivan Mine and various prospects scattered across the slopes leading into the Sierra National Forest.
