1947 Map of Mariposa

About this map

Mariposa serves as the focal point for this 1947 survey, a gateway community defined by the convergence of the Yosemite All-Year Highway and Mariposa Creek. The landscape preserves the industrial legacy of the California Gold Rush, with the Mariposa Mine and the Granite King Mine situated near the town and surrounding hills. Smaller settlements and waypoints like Mormon Bar, Bootjack, and John Allen Flat indicate a dispersed but established population pattern across the Las Mariposas region.
