About this map

Hornitos serves as the primary settlement on this Mariposa County sheet, located at the intersection of St Catherine St and Wilson St, where a Po indicates the continued importance of the local post office. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Hornitos Cr and Burns Cr, which flow through a region marked by significant elevation changes, including Williams Peak and the high ground of Juniper Ridge.

In the northeastern corner, the Merced River canyon is dominated by Lake McClure, where the settlement of Bagby sits near the confluence of Flyaway Gulch and the dramatic terrain of Hell Hollow. Historically significant routes like Old Toll Rd and Hunters Valley Rd suggest a network of roads established to navigate the difficult topography between Hunter Valley and the surrounding ranch lands such as Williams Ranch.
