1995 Map of Black Mountain

About this map

Pyramid Lake and the rugged northern reaches of the Angeles National Forest dominate this mid-1990s survey, marking a landscape where water management meets large-scale public recreation. The map captures the infrastructure of the California Aqueduct, including the William E Warne Power Plant and Pyramid Dam, while also documenting the Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area and its headquarters. For local historians, the sheet preserves several significant cultural markers, such as the Bailey Homestead (Site) and Caswell (Site), alongside more modern developments like the Vista del Lago Visitor Center. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Gorman Creek and Piru Creek, while trails like the Piru Creek Trail and Beartrap Trail offer access to the primitive Sespe Wilderness in the south.
