2012 Map of O'Neals

About this map

O'Neals serves as the primary hub in this Madera County landscape, where the foothills meet the Sierra Nevada. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Blackhawk Mountain, Quartz Mountain, and Mercer Mountain, which guide the network of seasonal and year-round watercourses like Coarse Gold Cr and Fine Gold Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies significant landholdings and small communities, including Rosedale Ranch, Ladd Ranch, and Kelshaw Corners. Cultural and institutional markers are also present, ranging from the California Youth Authority Camp to localized burial sites like Picayune Cem and Fine Gold Cem. The dense naming of ranch properties and residential roads, such as Chukchansi Rd and Safari World Dr, reflects the modern transition of this former mining and ranching territory into a rural residential and recreational corridor.
