1992 Map of Buckingham Mtn

About this map

Buckingham Mountain and the surrounding Sierra National Forest define this Mariposa County landscape, where the high Sierra terrain meets the deep drainages of the South Fork Merced River. The map illustrates the transition from the high ridges of the Chowchilla Mountains and Snyder Ridge down to the settled pockets in Clarks Valley. Cultural landmarks of the early-to-mid 20th century are evident, including the Buckingham Mtn Sch and the Mariposa Guard Sta. Local industry and extraction are represented by the Early Mine and the Comet Mine (Aband), reflecting the region's mining heritage. Small settlements such as Jerseydale and Darrah anchor the southern portion of the sheet, connected by routes like Triangle Road. Notable water features such as Sims Cove and Peachtree Bar mark the river's path through the northern canyons.
