About this map

The high peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains dominate this mid-1930s survey, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal recreation and forestry infrastructure before the mid-century expansion of Southern California. Centered on Crystal Lake, the map documents a cluster of developed sites including Wawona Lodge, the YMCA Hut, and a store, reflecting the area's role as a mountain retreat for Los Angeles residents. The presence of the Crystal Lake Guard Station and several designated flats, such as West Pine Flats and East Pine Flats, indicates the active management of the San Gabriel National Forest during this period.
