1947 Map of Ben Hur

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The settlement of Ben Hur and its surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills appear here as they were mapped in the late 1940s. The landscape is defined by its educational and rural infrastructure, including Ben Hur Sch, Oakvale Sch, Oakgrove Sch, and Green Mtn Sch, which served the scattered residents of this Mariposa and Madera County borderland. A quiet topography of seasonal drainages such as Horse Creek and Deep Hollow Creek flows toward the Chowchilla River, highlighting the traditional water-driven geography of the region before modern development. In the southern portion of the sheet, Green Mtn rises with its dedicated Lookout, a critical landmark for monitoring the timbered hills. The presence of a Cem near Raymond Creek and family-named landmarks like Coleman Flat and Lacy Hill offer clear markers for genealogists tracing the early 20th-century families of these foothill communities.
