Silver Bar Road (Mariposa County)

[Max Rockatansky]

Silver Bar Road is seven-mile loop of Ben Hur Road in the Sierra Nevada foothills southern Mariposa County.  This mostly dirt surface rural corridor is named after the Silver Bar Mine which once located in the vicinity of Lookout Mountain.  John Hite was known to have petitioned the Mariposa County Board of Supervisors to construct a roadway local silver mines in 1885 but was met with rejection.  Nonetheless modern Silver Bar Road appears on maps shortly after Hite's petition.
