1999 Map of Haystack Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The boundary between Mariposa and Merced counties cuts through a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and ranching activity in the late 20th century. Prominent geological features like China Hat and Courthouse Rock overlook a network of seasonal watercourses, including Black Rascal Creek and Stoney Creek. To the south, the namesake Haystack Mountain rises above the Burns Creek Dam area, where a reservoir and nearby Gaging Station indicate the region's managed water resources. Evidence of local industry is visible through the Quarry and scattered Tailings near Burns Creek, reflecting a history of resource extraction. Small family-run operations like La Paloma Ranch and Walts Ranch are connected by a system of rural roads such as Hornitos Road and Merced Falls Road, illustrating the sparse but enduring agricultural settlement pattern characteristic of this part of the California foothills.
