2012 Map of Illinois Hill

About this map

White Rock Cem stands as a quiet focal point in this upland region of Mariposa County, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and drainage systems. The landscape is marked by distinctive elevations such as Illinois Hill, Cow and Calf Mountain, and Flat Top Mountain, suggesting a topography shaped by historical grazing and mining activity typical of the California foothills. Waterways including Mariposa Cr, Deadman Cr, and Dutchman Cr carve through the canyons, with Brushy Canyon providing notable relief in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The road network, featuring White Rock Rd and Deadman Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting remote landmarks like Quartz Rock and Copper Hill. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and landform names used by local residents and researchers to navigate the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada foothills.
