1996 Map of Catclaw Flat

About this map

Walker Landing and the Stiles Landing (Ruins) sit near the confluence of the South Fork Whitewater River and the main channel of the Whitewater River. This mid-1990s revision of the high desert terrain reveals a landscape shaped by drainage systems like Mission Creek and Morongo Canyon, alongside the distinctive topographical features of Catclaw Flat and Red Dome. The map details a significant section of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it winds through the San Bernardino National Forest. Local history is captured in the primitive road networks and the boundary lines separating San Bernardino and Riverside counties, while landmarks like Hell For Sure Canyon and Kitching Peak define the dramatic elevation changes within the San Gorgonio Wilderness.
