2018 Map of Mariposa

About this map

Mariposa serves as the focal point of this Mother Lode landscape, positioned where Stockton Cr and Mariposa Cr descend from the surrounding ridges. The town's historical roots are visible in the placement of Saint Joseph Cem and the winding path of Old Hwy 49 N. To the southeast, the settlement of Mormon Bar and the rural community of Bootjack mark the transitions between steep canyons and high flats. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Stockton Ridge and Indian Mtn, while the drainage network includes the W Fork Chowchilla River and the uniquely named Australia Gulch. Notable landmarks like Striped Rock and Lookout Mtn highlight the local topography, offering a clear view of the area's development from concentrated mountain towns to spread-out rural roads and named flats like John Allen Flat.
