1959 Map of Condor Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Big Tujunga Dam and its spillway dominate the central drainage of this mountainous section of the Angeles National Forest. The landscape is a network of deep canyons and prominent summits, including Condor Peak, Josephine Peak, and Mt Lukens. The water system is particularly detailed, tracing the winding paths of Big Tujunga Creek and Arroyo Seco through landmarks like The Narrows. While the terrain is steep, human activity is evident in the cluster of camps and stations such as Switzer Camp, Clear Creek School Camp, and the Burbank YMCA Camp. For those tracing local history, the map records the location of the Lodestone Mine in the northeast and the Ybarra Ranch in the west. The presence of numerous firebreaks and gaging stations highlights the active management of this watershed during the mid-twentieth century.
