1949 Map of Kinsley

About this map

McCauley Ranch (Old Stage Station) and the Kinsley Guard Station anchor this high-elevation landscape on the western slopes of the Sierras. The terrain is deeply carved by the Merced River and its South Fork, creating a vertical world where extractive industry and early conservation efforts met. Evidence of mining history is scattered across the ridges, from the Garibaldi Mine (Aband) and a Soapstone Quarry to the presence of a Cement Plant and Ferguson Dump.
