About this map

The small community of Ben Hur serves as the focal point for this Mariposa County landscape, situated where Ben Hur Rd and Raymond Rd intersect. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and drainage systems, including Buckeye Hill, Knob Hill, and the significant granite outcropping at Split Rock. These landforms overlook the winding course of the Chowchilla River and its numerous tributaries such as Becknell Cr and Striped Rock Cr.

For local historians and genealogists, the presence of Pea Ridge Cem and Brewer's Green Mountain Cem offers vital connection points to the area's early residents. The road network, including names like Oak Grove School Rd, suggests the historical locations of former civic hubs. The map also delineates the boundary between Mariposa and Madera counties, following a path that crosses Mullen Ridge and descends into Deep Hollow.
