"The Coulterville Main Street Historic District includes twenty-five structures along either side of Main Street, the historical and present-day commercial avenue of the town of Coulterville. The district extends along the full length of Main Street, from its juncture with Highway 49, the principal artery linking communities in California's Mother Lode, to the old Chinatown and red-light district at the outskirts of Coulterville. District boundaries have been drawn to exclude noncommercial and intrusive new structures; several historic residences and one intrusive commercial structure fall within the boundaries of this otherwise commercial historic district. The unincorporated town of Coulterville occupies a flat at the confluence of several intermittent streams in the chaparral and oak-covered foothills of the Sierra Nevada in northern Mariposa County. Situated due west of Yosemite National Park, Coulterville is at about 1,750 feet in elevation. Surrounding peaks range from 2,600 to 3,500 feet in elevation. The population of Coulterville today is about 129. The building stock of the town is predominantly residential, with historic and newer homes scattered across a broad area joined by meandering streets. The Coulterville Main Street Historic District roughly bisects the town of Coulterville, with residential sections at either side." (visit link)
