1902 Map of Deep Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

The San Bernardino Forest Reserve dominates this turn-of-the-century landscape, capturing a time before modern water management reshaped the region's hydrography. The map shows the transition from the arid expanse of the Mohave Desert into the mountain peaks and timbered valleys. At lower elevations, the Mohave River and landmarks like Deadman Point indicate the desert's edge, while higher elevations reveal early industrial activity at the Sawmill in Grass Valley. Remote settlements and agricultural outposts like Coxey Ranch are documented alongside natural landmarks such as Rock Springs and Little Bear Valley, providing a detailed view of San Bernardino County's pioneer-era development. The drainage network, featuring Deep Creek and Holcomb Creek, illustrates the complex watershed that would later become central to Southern California's water infrastructure.
