1961 Map of Raynor Creek

About this map

Raynor Ranch sits near the intersection of the Mariposa and Merced county lines, marking a landscape where agricultural ranching meets the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. This 1961 survey, updated with 1978 aerial data, highlights the complex water management systems essential to the region, including Ash Slough and multiple Diversion Dams along the Chowchilla River. The map captures a transitional geography, moving from the flat irrigation grids of Madera Ave and Ave 26 in the southwest toward the rising elevations of Table Mtn and Buchanan Hollow in the northeast.
