2015 Map of Burnt Peak

About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts directly across this portion of the Transverse Ranges, shaping a landscape of deep canyons and prominent ridges. Within the Angeles National Forest, the terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainages such as Kings Canyon and Sawmill Canyon, which feed into the Elizabeth Lake Canyon system. Evidence of human engineering in this complex geology is visible in the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Kings Canyon Percolation Basin at the northeastern corner of the map. High-elevation settlements and landmarks like Three Points and Bushnell Summit serve as local hubs along Pine Canyon Rd, while the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southern ridges near Liebre Mtn. This survey captures the intersection of critical infrastructure and recreational wilderness in the early twenty-first century.
