2012 Map of Ahwahnee

About this map

Oakhurst and Coarsegold anchor this central California survey, documenting the Sierra Nevada foothills during a period of modern residential expansion. The network of winding roads, such as Road 600 and Road 620, illustrates how contemporary housing has integrated into the complex terrain of Potter Ridge and Buckeye Mountain. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Fresno River, which flows through the historic site of Fresno Flats before continuing south. Local history is etched into the topography at Deadwood Peak and along the drainages of Coarse Gold Cr and China Cr. Further north, the settlement of Ahwahnee sits near the confluence of Peterson Cr and Miami Cr, while Yosemite Forks marks a significant junction for travelers heading toward the national park. The map meticulously records numerous local post offices and a dense grid of named residential lanes that trace the evolving community footprint in Madera County.
