About this map

White Rock Cemetery sits near the center of this Mariposa County landscape, a quiet landmark amid the complex topography of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and canyons, including Illinois Hill, Ward Mtn, and the distinctive Cow and Calf Mtn. Water drainage patterns are clearly visible as Mariposa Cr flows toward the Mariposa Reservoir in the northwest, while Dutchman Cr and Deadman Cr carve through the southern and eastern reaches of the quadrangle.

Remote roads like Cornetts Entrance Rd and W Westfall Rd provide access to this ranching and mining country. The presence of features such as Quartz Rock and Copper Hill points to the area's geological character and its history of mineral interest. This detailed survey captures the sparse settlement and rugged relief of the region, from the depths of Brushy Canyon to the high point of Flat Top Mtn.
