1995 Map of Burnt Peak

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone bisects this portion of the northern Angeles National Forest, marking a distinct geological and topographic transition through the Sierra Pelona Mountains. High-elevation settlements such as Three Points and Deer Lodge are shown alongside seasonal recreation sites like the Timberline Meadows Resort and the Tweedy Lake Club. The landscape is dominated by the steep slopes of Burnt Peak and Sawmill Mountain, where historic mining operations including the Big Chief Mine and Maxwell Mine were once active. Sections of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail wind across Liebre Mountain, following the ridges above deep drainages like Fish Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon. To the south, the terrain descends toward Elizabeth Lake and the Rift Zone fault line, where family-named landmarks like Kings Ranch and Hidden Lake Ranch denote the area's transition into ranching and resort communities during the late 20th century.
