2015 Map of Butler Peak

About this map

Butler Peak and the high elevations of the San Bernardino National Forest dominate this 2015 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its network of high-altitude flats and vital water sources. The map traces the winding route of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses the southern section of the quadrangle, passing through the San Bernardino Mountains near Crafts Peak. This region is characterized by numerous seasonal and perennial springs, such as Snow Slide Spring, Dishpan Spring, and Lightning Spring, which have historically supported local flora and fauna. Notable terrain features like Big Pine Flat and Little Pine Flat break up the mountain ridges, while prominent summits including Rattlesnake Mtn and Shay Mtn provide significant landmarks. This edition documents the modern forest service road system, including 3N17 Forest Svc Rd and Coxey Rd, which provide access to these remote reaches.
