1947 Map of Buckhorn Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Stanislaus National Forest terrain dominates this mid-century survey of the California gold country, revealing a landscape defined by deep gulches and significant mineral extraction. The intricate hydrology of the North Fork Merced River and its tributaries, such as Dutch Creek and Maxwell Creek, provided the necessary water for the numerous mining operations scattered across the ridges. Mining activity is heavily documented through sites like the Red Cloud Mine, Bondurant Mine, and the Marble Spring Mine, which are situated among prominent heights like Jackass Mountain and Texas Hill. Small settlements and utility outposts, including Date Flat, Cat Town, and the McDiarmid Guard Sta, appear alongside the historic Ponderosa Way, reflecting the era's forest management and lingering gold-rush era settlement patterns. The presence of Bower Cave and the Bull Creek Sch adds layers of local social and geological history to this Mariposa County landscape.
