1958 Map of Crystal Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Angeles National Forest dominates this 1958 survey, centered on the high-elevation basins and steep canyons of the San Gabriel Mountains. At the heart of the map, the Crystal Lake Recreation Area is a focal point for mid-century mountain recreation, featuring a public Outdoor Theater, the Crystal Lake Guard Station, and several campsites like West Pine Flat. Transport through this challenging terrain is defined by the Angeles Crest Highway, which winds past Dawson Saddle and through a series of tunnels as it skirts the northern ridges. This edition records significant infrastructure development with a long section of road marked under construction south of Crystal Lake. Notable peaks such as Mt. Baden-Powell and Mt. Islip define the skyline, while the drainage patterns of the North Fork San Gabriel River carve deep into the landscape below Bichota Mesa.
