About this map

Mariposa Peak rises as a central landmark in this high-country survey of Santa Clara County, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits including Saint Marys Peak, Antimony Peak, and Henrietta Peak. The landscape is etched by numerous drainage systems such as Quien Sabe Cr and N Fork Los Banos Cr, which flow through the ridges toward the San Luis Reservoir visible in the northeast corner.

Evidence of ranching history is preserved through named properties like French Ranch near Frenchs Pass and Pfeiffer Ranch to the south. Transport through these highlands is limited to narrow routes like Billy Wright Rd and Burch Haven Rd. Rare water sources in this environment, such as Log Trough Spring, indicate the vital locations for livestock and travelers moving between landmarks like Peckham Ridge and Twin Peaks.
