1996 Map of Butler Peak

About this map

San Bernardino National Forest terrain dominates this 1990s revision, revealing a landscape defined by rugged high-country peaks and scattered mining history. The map documents numerous mining interests such as the Balanced Rock Mine and several grouped claims including the Ironwood Group and Bench Camp Group. Settlement is sparse, represented by locations like Hawes Ranch and the Lake Arrowhead Scout Camps. Significant elevation shifts are marked by prominent summits like Butler Peak, Crafts Peak, and Rattlesnake Mountain. The transition between the high ridges of Redonda Ridge and the flatlands of Coyote Flat and Coxey Meadow illustrates the varied topography of this region. Notable recreational and navigational paths are identified, specifically the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses the southern portion of the sheet.
