1947 Map of Buckingham Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Jerseydale and the small settlement of Darrah anchor this mid-century look at the southern Sierra foothills, where the timber and mining economies of Mariposa County were still actively shaping the land. The terrain is defined by steep ridges like Portuguese Ridge and Snyder Ridge, falling away toward the South Fork Merced River in the north. Deep within the Sierra National Forest, the map records several Sawmill operations and the Mariposa Guard Sta, alongside evidence of earlier hard-rock ventures including the Early Mine and the Comet Mine (Aband). Local infrastructure is sparse, highlighted by the Buckingham Mtn Sch and a network of named gulches and creeks such as Snyder Gulch and Devil Gulch that provided water for early mountain homesteads and small-scale operations.
