2012 Map of Ben Hur

About this map

Ben Hur serves as a central reference point in this upland region of Mariposa County, where the landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Chowchilla River and its various tributaries like Chapman Cr and Striped Rock Cr. The terrain is marked by prominent local landmarks including Buckeye Hill, Knob Hill, and the high points of Green Mountain. Transportation in the early 21st century follows long-established routes such as Ben Hur Rd and Preston Rd, which connect the scattered clearings and flats. To the south, the northern reaches of H. V. Eastman Lake indicate the significant water management infrastructure that shapes the lower elevations. Named ridges and hollows like Mullen Ridge and Deep Hollow provide a detailed look at the local topography and naming conventions used by the U.S. Geological Survey during this 2012 update.
