About this map

Pyramid Lake serves as a focal point for this landscape along the Ventura and Los Angeles county border. The map captures a sophisticated water management network, dominated by the Governor Edmund G Brown West Branch California Aqueduct and the Angeles Tunnel. This infrastructure operates alongside the protected waters of the Piru Creek Wild and Scenic River, which carves through the dramatic Piru Gorge below the reservoir.

Settlement is sparse, represented by the small community of Caswell near the Interstate corridor. The surrounding terrain is defined by deep canyons and prominent peaks, including Black Mountain and Slide Mountain. This 2022 survey illustrates the intersection of heavy engineering and wilderness, as the Los Padres National Forest and Angeles National Forest converge in a region shaped by both recreational utility and critical water transport.
