About this map

The San Bernardino National Forest dominates the southern half of this mid-century landscape, where high-altitude geography transitions into the Summit Valley. A dense network of mountain camps and community landmarks is visible near the southern edge, including the YMCA Camp, Camp Seeley, and the unique Pillars of God open-air theater. These recreational and spiritual retreats are situated near Jobs Peak and Seeley Flat, served by a winding system of firebreaks and jeep trails.

In the northern reaches, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts through the Antelope Valley near Lugo, following a path parallel to the Pacific Union Road. This area shows the early infrastructure of the Cedar Springs region before major water projects altered the flow of the Mojave River and its forks. Educational and agricultural history is anchored by the Las Flores School and Las Flores Ranch in the center of the sheet.
