About this map

The historic Old Coulterville Yosemite Road traverses the northern section of this territory within the Stanislaus National Forest. This 2001 revision illustrates the varied terrain of the Mariposa backcountry, where mining activity is evidenced by the Red Cloud Mine and numerous prospects scattered near Jackass Mountain. The map details a complex network of forest routes, including Bondurant Road and Ponderosa Way, which wind through ridges and flats such as Date Flat and Coalpit Hill.

A network of drainages defines the southern landscape, with Solomon Gulch, David Gulch, and Ham Coward Gulch flowing through the hills toward the southern boundary. Distinctive peaks like Buckhorn Peak and Texas Hill provide topographic landmarks in an area dominated by canyon systems such as Gentry Gulch and Quartz Mountain Gulch. The presence of these named gulches and mines offers significant detail for those tracing the development of local resource extraction and early mountain transit routes.
