1958 Map of Burnt Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone slices through this high-altitude landscape of the Angeles National Forest, creating a unique geological corridor that defines the area's geography. In the late 1950s, this region was a network of firebreaks and truck trails, supporting isolated outposts like the Tweedy Lake Club and Hidden Lake Ranch. The presence of the Radio Range Station and the Pine Canyon Ranger Sta highlights the strategic and administrative importance of these summits for forest management and aviation navigation. Mineral exploration is evidenced by the Big Chief Mine and Maxwell Mine, tucked away in the steep drainages of Fish Canyon and Elizabeth Lake canyon. Small settlements and mountain retreats like Three Points and Deer Lodge represent the thin human footprint in this mountainous terrain, connected by rugged routes such as the Baldwin Motorway and Sawmill Truck Trail.
