About this map

Raymond serves as a focal point for this section of the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the Southern Pacific railroad meets a landscape defined by ranching and resource extraction. The presence of the Madera Granite Quarry and the Daulton Copper Mine underscores the industrial activity that sustained local settlements during the early 1940s. A network of rural schools, including Union High School and Dennis Sch, alongside family-named outposts like Shaubach Ranch and Morris Ranch, illustrates the distributed nature of the community.

The Fresno River and Willow Creek drain the western slopes, punctuated by the Savage Monument and the San Joaquin Experimental Range. Local landmarks like Sixmile House and Bates Station mark the historical transit corridors, while the Hensley Bridge provides a critical crossing for the Madera Road. This survey documents a transition from the higher peaks of Buford Mtn to the lower grazing lands of Little Table Mtn.
