1948 Map of Stumpfield Mtn.

About this map

Chowchilla River and its various forks dominate this 1940s landscape, illustrating a topography defined by significant drainages and high peaks on the border of Mariposa and Madera Counties. The map records a sparsely populated region of the Sierra National Forest, where rural infrastructure is anchored by local landmarks like Elliott Corner and Magoon Hill. Educational centers such as Chowchilla Sch and Indian Peak Sch appear as primary community nodes in a terrain otherwise characterized by steep ridges and named peaks like Stumpfield Mountain and Miami Mtn. Small-scale evidence of early habitation includes a Cem near Magoon Creek and named features like Metcalf Gap, providing a detailed view of the Sierra foothills before modern development altered the road networks and rural character.
