2021 Map of Mariposa

About this map

The Mariposa County Courthouse stands as the civic centerpiece of the community, surrounded by a dense concentration of local history markers, including the Mariposa Masonic Cem, Mariposa District Cem, and Mariposa IOOF Cem. This modern survey illustrates how the town remains the primary hub of activity in this part of the Sierra Nevada foothills, with Mariposa Cr winding through its center and several roads branching out to smaller settlements like Mormon Bar and Bootjack. The landscape is defined by its gold-rush legacy, evidenced by names like McBrights Gulch and Australia Gulch. Elevated landmarks such as Stockton Ridge, Lookout Mtn, and Striped Rock break up the terrain, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle show the drainage patterns of Agua Fria Cr and Buckeye Cr as they cut through the hills near Moore Hill.
