2018 Map of Condor Peak

About this map

The San Gabriel Mountains dominate this 2018 survey, characterized by deep-cut drainages and high-altitude peaks within the Angeles National Forest. Significant elevation changes are marked by Condor Peak, Josephine Peak, and Mt Lukens, which overlooks the northern reaches of Glendale and Pasadena. The landscape is defined by the complex water systems of Big Tujunga Creek and Pacoima Wash, where early canyon settlements like Vogel Flat and Wildwood are situated along the valley floor. Transportation through this steep terrain relies on the winding Big Tujunga Canyon Road and the Angeles Forest Highway. Small canyon enclaves like Singing Springs and Hidden Springs are shown along the watercourses, while numerous fire roads and trails, including the Mendenhall Truck Trail, provide access to the interior ridges.
