About this map

Acton sits at the high desert edge of the San Gabriel Mountains, serving as a focal point for this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral Santa Clara River and a network of canyons including Kashmere Canyon and Kentucky Springs Canyon. This map documents a transitional geography where residential enclaves like Paris and Ravenna meet the expansive Angeles National Forest.

Genealogists will find the Acton Community Cem north of Acton Ave, while hikers and local historians can trace the paths leading into the high country toward Mt Gleason and Messenger Peak. The presence of Perspiration Point and Magnetic Springs highlights the topographic and hydrologic character of the upper Soledad Pass area, a region long marked by its role as a transportation corridor between the Antelope Valley and the Los Angeles Basin.
