About this map

Azusa and Duarte anchor the southern edge of this San Gabriel Valley survey, where urban development meets the steep rise of the Angeles National Forest. This 2012 map captures the intricate boundary between residential communities and the mountain wilderness, featuring institutional landmarks like Azusa Pacific University and Westminster Gardens. The landscape is defined by the San Gabriel River corridor and its tributaries, including Sawpit Wash and Little Dalton Wash, which descend from deep canyons such as Fish Canyon and Roberts Canyon.

Upstream, the hydraulic management of the region is evident through the Morris Reservoir and Cogswell Reservoir. While the south is densely populated, the northern reach is dominated by peaks and ridges like Pine Mountain and Monrovia Peak, crisscrossed by fire roads such as the Rincon Red Box Truck Trl. Local recreational and social sites are well-documented, from the Irwindale Raceway and Azusa Greens Public Golf Course to the Manresa Retreat and secluded spots like Spring Camp.
