1995 Map of Chilao Flat

About this map

The Angeles National Forest dominates this high-altitude survey, revealing a landscape defined by its rugged isolation and mid-century mining heritage. Evidence of the region’s mineral history is scattered across the peaks, from the Monte Cristo Mine and Falcon Mine in the north to the Black Cargo Mine and numerous unnamed prospects. These sites are linked by a complex network of canyons and gulches, including the massive Big Tujunga Canyon and the winding West Fork San Gabriel River.
