Mother Lode Historic Tour Through Knight's Ferry to Mariposa
A travelogue-style map guides visitors along the California Mother Lode towns from Knight's Ferry and Chinese Camp to Coulterville Moccasin Creek Homitos and Mariposa. It highlights landmarks, old mills, a Wells Fargo office, a famous tunnel, a brick-tongued sign, the Mount Ophir Mint remains, and echoes explorer John Wood.
