2018 Map of Blackburn Canyon

About this map

The San Bernardino National Forest dominates this section of the San Jacinto Mountains, where steep ridges and deep canyons define the landscape east of Hemet. Small, dispersed settlements like Oak Cliff and Alvin Meadows are established along the higher elevations, while Reed Valley provides a rare expanse of flatter terrain to the south. The complex drainage system of the San Jacinto River and its southern fork is meticulously traced, showing the seasonal flow of Baisley Cr and Horse Cr through narrow gaps like Toll Road Canyon. Water sources are critical markers here, with named points such as Halfway Spring, Bautista Spring, and Milky Spring serving as vital landmarks for those navigating the rugged terrain between Blackburn Ridge and Rouse Ridge.
