1962 Map of Yosemite Lake

About this map

The Merced River flows across the northern reaches of this Central Valley landscape, its banks marked by extensive tailings that indicate a history of hydraulic activity or dredging. In the southern portion, Yosemite Lake serves as a prominent landmark and recreational hub, bordered by the Merced Golf Club. The region is defined by a sophisticated water management network, including the Main Canal and various lateral channels like Lateral Canal, which navigate the undulating terrain to support local agriculture.
