1959 Map of Condor Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Angeles National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape of deep canyons and prominent ridges shaped by the Big Tujunga Creek watershed. The central feature is the Big Tujunga Dam, with its spillway and reservoir tucked between steep canyon walls near the Big Tujunga Station. The area serves as a significant recreational and institutional hub for the region, housing the Burbank YMCA Camp, the Clear Creek School Camp, and numerous sites like Switzer Camp and Tom Lucas Campground. A network of trails and firebreaks, including the North Fork Trail Canyon, connects high points like Condor Peak and Josephine Peak to the canyon floors. Small settlements and specialized locations such as Ybarra Ranch and the Lodestone Mine dot the terrain, while the Angeles Forest Highway provides the primary transit route through the mountains toward Singing Springs.
