1965 Map of Pine Flat Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Pine Flat Lake dominates this mid-century landscape, its winding shoreline and recreation areas like Island Park Recreation Area and Lakeview Recreation Area reflecting a transformation from a river canyon to a major water management hub. While the massive Pine Flat Dam stands as the primary engineering feat, traces of an older world remain at Hughes Creek Cemetery and the settlement of Piedra. This survey, based on 1948 topography captured prior to inundation, preserves the original course of the Kings River beneath the reservoir's surface. High peaks like Hughes Mountain and Tivy Mountain frame the valley, while the presence of a Lookout Tower and a Landing Strip near Mill Creek indicates the area's role in forest management and regional logistics during the mid-1960s.
