1965 Map of Millerton Lake West

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The San Joaquin Experimental Range dominates the northern landscape of this region as it appeared in the mid-1960s, while the southern portion is defined by the significant reservoir behind the Friant Dam. This area represents a critical intersection of agricultural water management and research, where the Madera Canal carries water through a terrain of cattle ranches and rolling peaks like Hildreth Mountain and Hulbert Mountain. Historical footprints are visible at Bellview (Site) and the Spring Valley Sch, providing clues to earlier settlement patterns in the foothills. The map documents the development of the Millerton Lake State Recreation Area, showing popular locales such as Winchell Bay and the prominent Pincushion Mountain overlook. Throughout the quadrangle, legacy property names including the J McDougal Ranch and O'Neal Ranch indicate the enduring ranching culture of this Madera and Fresno County borderland.
