1948 Map of Horsecamp Mountain

About this map

Bailey Flats serves as a primary point of reference in this mid-century survey of the foothills where the Mariposa Co Madera Co line traverses the terrain. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Middle Fork Chowchilla River and the Fresno River, which carve through the high ground of Horsecamp Mountain and Twin Sisters. The settlement patterns here suggest a history tied to the early routes of the Sierra Nevada foothills, marked by the presence of the Bailey Flat Sch and the high-elevation Summit House. Notable landmarks such as Indian Hill and the evocative Specimen Springs indicate a geography rich in local nomenclature. Smaller drainages like Grub Gulch and Leland Gulch further detail the intricate hydrology of the region as it appeared in the years immediately following World War II.
