About this map

Briceburg and Midpines anchor this mid-2010s survey of the Mariposa County highlands, where the Merced River cuts through the northwest corner near Good Gulch. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes of the Sierra National Forest, reaching peaks such as Feliciana Mountain and Sweetwater Point. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Saxon Creek, Bear Creek, and Rancheria Creek carving deep canyons into the terrain.

Local mining history is etched into the road names, including Apperson Mine Rd and Rumley Mine Rd, reflecting the region's industrial past. The map traces the winding paths of Ponderosa Way and Colorado Rd through the foothills, connecting small settlements like Mono Gulch to the larger forest infrastructure. This edition documents a complex system of fire roads and forest service routes that provide access to the ridge-tops of Sweetwater Ridge.
