1958 Map of Crystal Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Crystal Lake Recreation Area serves as the focal point for this survey of the high San Gabriel Mountains, where the 1950s recreational footprint of the Angeles National Forest is clearly visible. The map details the network of remote facilities supporting early mountain tourism, including the Crystal Lake Guard Station, several campgrounds such as Deer Flat, and even an Outdoor Theater near the lake. The high-altitude terrain is dominated by peaks like Mt Baden-Powell and Mt Islip, which are linked by the winding Angeles Crest Highway. To the south, the drainage systems of the San Gabriel River and its North Fork carve deep canyons into the landscape, punctuated by isolated spots like Falling Springs and the administrative outpost at Coldbrook Guard Station.
