About this map

San Bernardino National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape, where the San Jacinto Mountains rise toward Thomas Mtn. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural settlement pattern defined by isolated valleys and a network of named trails and roads. The community of Anza sits at the heart of the Anza Valley, surrounded by smaller enclaves like Cahuilla and Tripp Flats.

Hydrological features like Hog Lake and Bautista Cr are key markers in this arid terrain, reflecting the seasonal water flow through Lion Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. The map reveals a complex grid of local routes such as Hog Lake Truck Trl and Old Comanche Trl, which provide access to family-named landmarks and the vast Cahuilla Valley. This documentation is particularly useful for tracing modern land use and rural development in Riverside County.
