About this map

Irvine Lake and the surrounding Santa Ana Mountains dominate this mid-century topographic record, showing a landscape defined by water management and mineral extraction. The reservoir is held by the Santiago Dam, which was vital for the citrus-rich plains of Orange County during this era. The map captures the industrial heritage of the canyons, noting several inactive sites like the Santiago Coal Mine and Black Star Coal Mine, as well as the Claymont Clay Mine near Gypsum Canyon.
