2012 Map of Standard

About this map

Phoenix Reservoir and the historic water delivery systems of Phoenix Ditch and Algerine Ditch anchor this area of Tuolumne County. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of residential ranch developments and named settlements, such as Standard, Mono Village, and Sonora Hills, which signify the modern suburban expansion near the historic gold country. In the northern reaches, the Catholic Cem and Mountain Shadow Cem provide important reference points for genealogists. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Tuolumne River and the upper reaches of the Don Pedro Reservoir. The map tracks several family-named ranch holdings including McNutt Ranch and Gandolfo Ranch, while the Wards Ferry Bridge marks a critical crossing point over the river canyon.
