Re: Who owns this lake? Yosemite or Emigrant?
While I think that the boundary is still determined by the legal description and therefore the watershed boundary, I found this interesting old map showing the boundary change.

Hi Yosehiker,
Thanks, that map was already sent to the parties involved.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Who owns this lake? Yosemite or Emigrant?
Update:
All the information forwarded to the agencies are now being given to the Stanislaus NF and Yosemite Lands Managers to figure out where the lake belongs, there is also a meeting slated with the USGS next week, in which this boundary issue will be brought up, the NF will also be requesting the USGS for any surveys from 1905 to confirm the exact/official boundary line designate by congress in 1905. Will be getting updates periodically, when there has been some sort of decision made, will update here, but expect this to be a long, drawn out process.

The Stanislaus NF Wilderness Manager will be sending out a team this summer, including some folks from the USGS, to confirm the location, and based on the outlet flow, they will then do any adjustments/updates on their maps (next year) accordingly, it will be to late for this years map print cycle.

Re: Who owns this lake? Yosemite or Emigrant?
As the OP, I decided to go visit this lake over the Memorial holiday. TR will be forthcoming in another thread.
Looks like the lake belongs to Emigrant as the outlet flows towards Huckleberry Lake and Cherry creek.

Sounds good.The Land Manager for Stanislaus NF and land surveyor's from the USGS will be going there in July, they then will be making an official determination on who/where the lake belongs.Looks like the lake belongs to Emigrant as the outlet flows towards Huckleberry Lake and Cherry creek.

Fishless. The anura worshipers have done a good job of favoring one species over another in most of the lakes and creeks of this area.
