1947 Map of Horsecamp Mountain

About this map

The Mariposa Co Madera Co line cuts through this mid-century landscape, which is defined by the complex drainage network of the Chowchilla River. The high country is dominated by peaks like Horsecamp Mountain and Butler Mtn, while the settlement of Bailey Flats serves as a local hub, anchored by the Bailey Flat Sch. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous waterways, including the West Fork, Middle Fork, and East Fork Chowchilla River. To the south, Summit House sits along the Ahwahnee Road, representing the transition from the steep timbered slopes to the lower valleys. Gold mining history is quietly evident in place names like Grub Gulch, Specimen Springs, and the evocatively named Spangle Gold Creek, while the Fresno River and Willow Creek define the southeastern quadrant of the survey.
