2021 Map of O'Neals

About this map

Coarsegold and O'Neals anchor this modern topographical study of Madera County, where the foothills of the Sierra Nevada meet established ranching and residential land. The drainage patterns of Coarse Gold Cr and Fine Gold Cr dominate the landscape, carved between prominent peaks such as Blackhawk Mtn and Quartz Mtn. This area is marked by its intersection of traditional rural landmarks and contemporary development, illustrated by the presence of the Picayune Cem and Fine Gold Cem alongside modern road networks like Chukchansi Rd and Safari World Dr. The transition from seasonal creek beds like Water Gulch to the more permanent flow of Willow Cr provides insight into the local hydrology and land use patterns that have shaped these foothill communities over the last century.
