2021 Map of Bucksnort Mountain

About this map

Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl winds through this high-altitude landscape, tracing the rugged divide where the Riverside and San Diego County line meets. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage systems, including Nance Canyon, Tule Canyon, and Parks Canyon, which descend toward the more open Fig Tree Valley in the southeast. High points like Bucksnort Mtn and Combs Peak provide a dramatic backdrop for a network of historical routes and ranching trails, such as Old Cattle Trl, Covered Wagon Trl, and Broken Wheel Trl. Isolated water sources like Tule Spring and Mangalar Spring serve as critical landmarks in this arid environment, while the presence of the Coyote Canyon Trl suggests a long history of travel through the canyons that dominate the eastern half of the map.
