1979 Map of Twain Harte

About this map

Twain Harte and the surrounding timber and mining country of the Sierra Nevada foothills are captured here during a period of established residential growth and lingering industrial history. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage of the South Fork Stanislaus River and the waters of Lyons Reservoir, which served as a critical resource for the flumes and ditches that once powered local industry. The map documents the layout of modern communities like Mi-Wuk Village and Sierra Village alongside historical sites such as Hess Mill (Site).
