1947 Map of Buckingham Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The South Fork Merced River carves through this Sierra Nevada landscape, where mid-century Mariposa County settlement was defined by narrow ridges and isolated mining operations. Small communities like Jerseydale and Darrah anchor the southwestern sections, connected by the winding Triangle Road. The local education and government footprint is visible at the Buckingham Mtn Sch and the Mariposa Guard Sta, while the rugged interior shows signs of earlier industry with the Early Mine and the Comet Mine (Aband). Several sawmills are scattered across the drainage basins of Skelton Creek and Owl Creek, illustrating the era's reliance on timber. High elevations are marked by prominent features such as Buckingham Mountain, Kirby Peak, and Chowchilla Mtn, with the historic Hite Trail providing a route through the northern canyons near Marble Pt.
