1919 Map of Sulphur Springs

About this map

The San Joaquin River carves a deep path through the landscape of the Sierra Nevada foothills, marking the critical border between Madera and Fresno Counties. This 1916 survey highlights a transitional era for the region, focusing on the river corridor and the high ground near Fine Gold. The map reveals the early transportation network through the Friant and O'Neals Road, which connects the high-altitude settlement at Belleview to the river valley. Significant historic sites are documented along the river's edge, including Old Millerton and the site of Old Fort Miller, providing a rare look at these locations before they were affected by later water management projects. Much of the surrounding area is designated as a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area, leaving the focus squarely on the river's winding Boundary Line and the namesake Sulphur Springs.
