About this map

The Bouquet Reservoir and the high-altitude basins of the Sierra Pelona range dominate this late-1950s landscape within the Angeles National Forest. Water infrastructure is central to the area's development, seen in the Fairmont Reservoir and its Intake Tower, along with the San Francisquito Powerhouse No 1. These features reflect the complex hydraulic engineering required to manage resources across the Sierra Pelona Ridge.

Settlement patterns follow the valley floors, with community life anchored by the Hughes-Elizabeth Lakes School and the Leona School. In the north, the transition to the high desert is marked by Antelope Acres and the rural holdings of the Eric Munz Ranch. Resource extraction is evident through several named claims, including the California Mine and the Silver King Mine, while the southern reaches near Sierra Pelona Valley show the early footprint of the Agua Dulce Airpark.
