Old Toll Road in Mariposa County is an approximately seven-mile segment of the former Zinkland Toll Road. The current corridor of Old Toll Road begins at Hornitos Road and extends east to California State Route 49 in Mount Bullion. The wider Burckhalter Toll Road was constructed at the behest of Jeremy Burckhalter during the early 1850s between Hornitos and Mariposa via Bear Valley. In 1856 a David Cunningham would complete another toll road which branched west from the Burckhalter Road at Cow & Calf Creek more directly towards Hornitos. The Cunningham toll corridor would come under the ownership of Andrew Zinkland and would later become a public highway in 1899. The Old Toll Road corridor would remain the primary highway into Mariposa until early Legislative Route Number 18 was completed during May 1918.
