About this map

The San Gabriel Mountains dominate this 2015 survey, revealing the complex drainage systems and small settlements within the Angeles National Forest. Along the course of Big Tujunga Creek, localized flats such as Vogel Flat and La Paloma Flat indicate small pockets of development adjacent to the Big Tujunga Reservoir. The map illustrates a landscape of extreme verticality, from the high points of Condor Peak and Josephine Peak down to The Narrows.

Transport through the steep canyons is limited to primary corridors like Big Tujunga Canyon Road and various maintenance routes like the Dark Canyon Motorway. This edition captures the boundaries between the mountain wilderness and the encroaching northern edges of Los Angeles and Glendale, specifically near Haines Canyon and Dunsmore Canyon. Small mountain retreats such as Singing Springs and Wildwood remain isolated within the intricate network of peaks and washes.
