1947 Map of Ben Hur

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The settlement of Ben Hur serves as a focal point in this landscape where Mariposa and Madera counties meet. Deeply etched by watercourses like Chapman Creek and Becknell Creek, the terrain is defined by its series of distinct peaks and flats, from Bald Rock in the north to Green Mtn in the south, which features a prominent Lookout. The community's social structure in the mid-20th century is evident through its distributed rural infrastructure, including several educational sites such as Ben Hur Sch, Oakgrove Sch, and Oakvale Sch. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Chowchilla River flows toward the Eastman Lake Recreation Area, a later addition to the landscape. This 1947 field-checked survey, updated in the early 1980s, preserves the locations of early 20th-century family-named landmarks like Lacy Hill and Mullen Ridge alongside established travel routes like Raymond Road.
