1962 Map of New Melones Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Stanislaus River and its dramatic canyon dominate this terrain along the border of Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties. The map documents a landscape in transition, where the rising waters of New Melones Lake and Tulloch Reservoir began to reshape the foothills. This engineering effort, anchored by Tulloch Dam and its associated Powerhouse, flooded several sites of local significance. Notable among these is the Central Ferry (Site) and the O Byrne Ferry Historical Monument, marking old river crossings that were once vital for travel through the region.
