About this map

Jerseydale and Darrah serve as the primary residential anchors in this pocket of the Sierra National Forest shortly after the mid-century. The landscape is defined by a succession of high ridges, including Snyder Ridge, Footman Ridge, and Windlass Ridge, which descend toward the South Fork Merced River. The presence of the Early Mine and the Comet Mine (Aband) near Jerseydale points to the area's extraction history, while the Sawmill in Clarks Valley indicates the active timber operations of the era.
