2012 Map of Blackburn Canyon

About this map

Red Mountain Lookout stands as a primary sentinel over this landscape in the San Jacinto Mountains, where the drainage of the San Jacinto River and its various forks meet the steep terrain of the San Bernardino National Forest. The map details a network of vital service roads and trails, such as the Rouse Hill Truck Trl and Bee Canyon Truck Trl, which provide access to high-elevation points like Blackburn Ridge and Rouse Hill. These routes trace the ridges between deep incisions like Blackburn Canyon and Toll Road Canyon. To the northeast, the terrain softens into alpine clearings at Alvin Meadows and Strawberry Valley. In the southwest, the perennial flow of Bautista Cr moves through Bautista Canyon and across Hixon Flat, illustrating the transition from high mountain watersheds to the alluvial washes of the canyon floors.
