Notes
  • Significance: Although the Hetch Hetchy Valley was known even earlier than the Yosemite Valley, no road reached the isolated valley until 1915. The road was built as a roadbed for the construction railway for the O'Shaughnessy Dam, the principal structure of the controversial Hetch Hetchy Reservoir project. The railway was converted to a park highway in 1925.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N100
  • Survey number: HAER CA-152
  • Building/structure dates: 1915 Initial Construction
  • Building/structure dates: 1925 Subsequent Work
