2015 Map of Coulterville

About this map

Coulterville stands as a focal point in this 2015 study of Mariposa County, where the transition from the Stanislaus National Forest to the waters of Lake McClure creates a landscape of steep gulches and high points. The map provides a detailed look at the local road network connecting historic settlements, such as the route along Mary Harrison Mine Rd and the path to Dogtown. To the north, Greeley Hill and Peñon Blanco Point overlook a terrain carved by Blacks Cr and Maxwell Cr. The southern portion is defined by the Hunter Valley region, bordered by Hunter Valley Mtn and several notable gulches including David Gulch and Scotch Gulch. This survey captures the modern footprint of these Sierra Nevada foothills, documenting the persistent naming conventions and land divisions of the Public Land Survey System including t2s r16e and t2s r17e.
