About this map

Telegraph City and Copperopolis anchor this landscape in the foothills where the Calaveras Co and Stanislaus Co line meet. The area is defined by a series of named ridges and gulches that speak to its mineral and transit history, including Copperopolis Mtn, Boucher Mtn, and the distinctive Big Seven Ridge. Water systems are central to the terrain, with Littlejohns Cr and Rock Creek flowing through the valleys, while the Copperopolis Reservoir serves the namesake settlement to the northeast.

A network of roads with evocative names like Stagecoach Dr, Buckboard Dr, and Reeds Tpke hints at the historic travel routes through the hills. Genealogists and local historians will find interest in the Copperopolis Cem and several isolated springs and flats, such as Thompson Flat and Smith Flat, which represent the enduring footprints of small-scale settlement and ranching in this portion of the Mother Lode region.
