1947 Map of Kinsley

About this map

McCauley Ranch (Old Stage Station) and other small family outposts dot this landscape within the Stanislaus National Forest, representing the vestiges of early transit through the Mariposa region. The topography is dominated by massive landforms like Montgomery Ridge and Big Grizzly Mountain, which drop sharply toward the canyon of the Merced River. This waterway serves as the southern boundary for the forest, where a Geological Exhibit and the Ferguson Dump mark points of human activity along the river's edge.
