About this map

Bailey Flats and Grub Gulch anchor this landscape where the Chowchilla River and Fresno River systems cut through the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Horsecamp Mtn, Buckeye Mtn, and Crooks Mtn, while the Mariposa Co Madera Co line traverses the northern section. This area shows a transition from historical transport routes to modern ranching and aviation, exemplified by the Grupe Ranch Airport.

Local history and industry are reflected in the naming of access ways like Ellen Mine Rd and Monarch Canyon Rd, suggesting the area's mining past. Rugged transit is traced through the Acton Grade and the Old Wagon Rd, which follow the contours of Leland Gulch and other seasonal drainages. These features, along with names like Spangle Gold Cr, provide a geographic context for the development of small-scale mining and cattle operations in this part of Madera County.
