1949 Map of Buckingham Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Buckingham Mountain and its surrounding timberlands are documented here in the late 1940s, revealing a landscape defined by deep gulches and scattered industrial operations within the Sierra National Forest. The map captures the small community of Darrah and the Buckingham Mtn Sch at a junction of mountain roads, while further north, Jerseydale stands as a focal point for local activity. The presence of the Early Mine and the Comet Mine (Aband), alongside several Sawmill locations, indicates the area's reliance on mineral extraction and timber harvesting. Waterways such as the South Fork Merced River and the Chowchilla River cut through the high terrain, where landmarks like Peachtree Bar and Kirby Peak guided travelers and foresters alike. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, including the Mariposa Guard Sta, during a period of active resource management in the Sierra foothills.
