About this map

Humphreys Station serves as the primary landmark in this mid-1960s study of the Fresno County foothills, situated where several prominent seasonal drainages converge. The landscape is defined by its mining history and rugged topography, featuring the Jack Thorn Mine, the Clara H Mine, and the Copper King Mine. To the north, Burrough Valley and Watts Valley carve paths through the terrain, while the Blasingame Fire Control Sta indicates the area's importance for regional fire management.

A network of Jeep Trails provides access to peaks like Keys Mountain, Green Mtn, and Wildcat Mountain. Genealogists and local historians may find particular interest in the solitary Grave located in the northeast, as well as the numerous springs and creek systems including Dry Creek, Sand Creek, and Fancher Creek that historically dictated the placement of early ranches and homesteads in this part of California.
