1959 Map of Condor Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Angeles National Forest provides the backdrop for this 1959 topographic survey, dominated by the steep drainage of Big Tujunga Creek and the high elevations of Condor Peak. The map highlights a landscape of mid-century recreation and infrastructure, anchored by the Big Tujunga Dam and a network of camps including the Burbank YMCA Camp, Switzer Camp, and the Clear Creek School Camp. The terrain is deeply incised by canyons such as Pacoima Creek and Arroyo Seco, reflecting the complex topography of the San Gabriel Mountains. Traces of human activity range from the Lodestone Mine in the northeast to the Big Tujunga Station and Ybarra Ranch. This survey captures the region as development from the City of Los Angeles began to press against the forest boundary near Mt. Lukens.
