About this map

Catheys Valley serves as a central point of this Mariposa County landscape, where ranching and mountain terrain meet. The Catheys Valley Cemetery provides a grounded reference for family historians near Catheys Mtn and the winding School House Rd. To the northeast, the settlement of Agua Fria sits near numerous named gulches and flats, including Carson Flat and Specimen Gulch, hinting at the area's prospecting and mining heritage.

The terrain is defined by complex ridges and canyons, such as Mockingbird Ridge and Bellyache Canyon, which drop toward the Guadalupe Valley. The hydrography of the region is equally intricate, with Mariposa Cr and Agua Fria Cr cutting through the Guadalupe Mountains. The presence of small settlements like Bridgeport and landmarks like Negro Hill illustrate the localized development patterns along the foothills.
