1918 Map of Owens Creek

About this map

The Mariposa Co Merced Co boundary line runs diagonally across this landscape, separating the Central Valley plains from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Surveyed in 1915 and 1916 by R.B. Marshall and Geo.R. Davis, the map reveals a drainage system defined by westward-flowing watercourses including Bear Creek, Miles Creek, Owens Creek, and Mariposa Creek. The primary artery of travel through this region is the Mariposa and Stockton Road, which parallels the county line and the base of the rising terrain. This transition zone illustrates the early 20th-century road network that connected the agricultural valley to the historic mining districts located further east, showing how topography dictated the placement of these early transit routes.
