2018 Map of Yosemite Lake

About this map

Yosemite Lake and its recreational Rotary Cove anchor the southern portion of this landscape where the San Joaquin Valley meets the rising terrain to the east. The map illustrates a complex water management system essential to the agricultural identity of Merced, featuring the Main Canal and a network of irrigation channels including the Henderson Lateral, Bird Lateral, and Upper Golf Lateral. These engineered waterways cut across natural drainages like Canal Cr and Parkinson Cr as they move water through the valley floor.
