2001 Map of Buckhorn Peak

About this map

Red Cloud Mine and Bondurant Mine anchor the northern reaches of this Mariposa County landscape, marking a history of extraction within the Stanislaus National Forest. The rugged terrain is defined by the steep descent toward the North Fork Merced River, which cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Historic transportation routes, including the Coulterville Old Yosemite Road and the appropriately named Dogtown Road, suggest the movement of people and supplies between early settlements and mining claims.
