1902 Map of Deep Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The transition from the Mojave Desert into the northern reaches of the San Bernardino National Forest is documented in this 1890s survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of the Ord Mountains and the winding course of the Mojave River as it enters the arid basin. Within the forested highlands, early development is sparse but notable, centered around water sources and timber resources. The presence of a Sawmill near Little Bear Valley—the area that would later be known as Lake Arrowhead—highlights the early industry of the San Bernardino Mountains. Numerous creeks such as Deep Creek and Holcomb Creek flow through the canyons, while isolated landmarks like Coxey Ranch provide evidence of early high-country settlement. High-altitude points including Butler Peak and Crafts Peak anchor the southern boundary of the quadrangle.
