About this map

Merced Falls and Hornitos Road cuts diagonally across this 1919 landscape, serving as a primary transit artery between early Central Valley settlements. The terrain is defined by distinct landmarks such as China Hat and the eponymous Haystack Mtn, which rise above the surrounding drainage networks. The presence of Upper Well and Lower Well suggests the critical importance of managed water sources for cattle or agriculture in this dry environment. Hydrology is further marked by seasonal and permanent waterways including Black Rascal Creek, Burns Creek, and Toledo Creek. A prominent political boundary, the Mariposa Co Merced Co line, traverses the eastern portion of the map, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and administrative borders during this era of California's development.
