Title A name given to the resource Looking up the San Joaquin River Pollasky California Subject The topic of the resource Rivers -- California -- Fresno County -- Photographs.; San Joaquin River (Calif.) -- Photographs. Description An account of the resource The San Joaquin River Basin encompasses nearly 15,000 square miles. The river's headwaters begin life as snow on the peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains seen in the background. Most of the Sierra's annual average 80 to 90 inches of snowpack eventually melts toward the valley floor during the summer. Friant Dam was built at Pollasky (called Friant after 1921) in the 1940s creating Millerton Lake. Because of the number and variety of individuals and groups it benefits, the San Joaquin River has earned the title of "California's hardest working and most fought-over waterway".
