2015 Map of Mariposa

About this map

Mariposa and the surrounding foothill settlements of Mormon Bar and Bootjack appear in this 2015 study, illustrating the modern footprint of these storied Gold Rush-era locales. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Stockton Ridge, Lookout Mtn, and Indian Mtn, which frame the drainages of Mariposa Cr and the W Fork Chowchilla River. Genealogists may find value in the location of Saint Joseph Cemetery near the town center, while local historians can trace naming patterns through features like John Allen Flat and McBrights Gulch. The map meticulously details the residential street network and rural connectors, from Jones St to the winding Darrah Rd, showing how contemporary development has integrated with the area's complex topography and historic landmarks like Striped Rock.
