About this map

The Mariposa Co Merced Co Boundary Line defines the transition between the rising foothills and the lowlands in this 1915 survey. This preliminary edition highlights the early transportation network of the San Joaquin Valley outskirts, most notably the Old Ft. Miller and Stockton Road, a critical historic thoroughfare connecting regional centers. Water drainage patterns are clearly delineated by the paths of Owens Creek, Mariposa Creek, and Bear Creek, which flow westward from the higher elevations toward the valley floor. The map also identifies local transit routes such as the Merced Road and the prominent Merced Falls area. This document captures the landscape before mid-century agricultural and water management projects significantly altered the natural hydrology and local road alignments.
