About this map

Copperopolis sits near the foot of Copperopolis Mtn, anchoring a landscape defined by the intersection of the Sierra Foothills and the Central Valley. This survey documents the modern layout of the town and its surrounding highlands, including the Copperopolis Cem and the Copperopolis Reservoir. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of seasonal watercourses and ridges, from Big Seven Ridge in the north to the southern slopes of Iron Mtn.

Evidence of early habitation and mining history is visible in the names of outlying settlements like Telegraph City, Smith Flat, and Thompson Flat. The map traces the winding paths of Rock Creek and Little Johns Creek, alongside numerous gulches such as Copper Gulch and Sailor Gulch that hint at the area's prospecting roots. Modern residential development is captured through the dense street network near Sawmill Creek, while the broader township boundaries show the transition between Calaveras County and Stanislaus County.
