About this map

Santa Rosa Indian Reservation lands and the high ridges of the San Jacinto Mountains dominate this landscape during the early 1980s. The region is marked by a legacy of small-scale resource extraction, evidenced by the New Hemet Bell Mine, Gold Hill Mine, and Gold Shot Mine situated north of Pine Meadow. Settlement is sparse, focused around outposts like Kenworthy Station and the open reach of Vandeventer Flat.

Transit through this high-elevation terrain is defined by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which skirts the slopes of Thomas Mountain and Lookout Mountain. Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, with numerous springs such as Sulphur Spring and Heller Spring appearing alongside major drainage features like Martinez Creek and the deep cuts of Horse Canyon. Local history is anchored by a small Cem and a lone Grave near the reservation boundary.
