About this map

Briceburg and Midpines anchor this 2021 topographic survey of the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the Merced Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through the northern terrain. The landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of Feliciana Mtn and Feliciana Ridge, transition points into the Sierra National Forest. This modern mapping captures a high level of detail for local historians, including rural infrastructure like Rhoads Cabin and the secluded Sarah Priest Cem.

The industrial legacy of Mariposa County is visible in the network of legacy roads such as Rumley Mine Rd and Mining Rd, leading toward the Sweetwater Mine. Numerous drainage systems, including Bull Creek, Bear Cr, and Saxon Cr, dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Rancheria Creek Rd. These features illustrate the enduring relationship between the region's complex water network and its historical mining and settlement patterns.
