2018 Map of Agua Dulce

About this map

Sierra Pelona Valley and the northern slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains dominate this landscape within the Angeles National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of southwest-running drainages such as Agua Dulce Canyon, Escondido Canyon, and Bee Canyon, which feed toward the Santa Clara River near the small settlements of Russ and Lang. The presence of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winding through the high ground above Three Sisters Rock and Vasquez Rocks highlights the region's significance for modern recreation and conservation. Transportation is funneled through the natural corridors of the canyons, with Soledad Canyon Rd and the Agua Dulce Airport serving as primary transit points between the high peaks of Magic Mtn and the northern valleys. Local landmarks like Saddleback Mtn and Quail Spring provide specific points of reference for those studying the complex topography and historical land use of this Los Angeles County interior.
