About this map

The north shore of Big Bear Lake anchors this survey of the San Bernardino mountains, where the settlement of Fawnskin sits at the base of Delamar Mountain. The landscape is a network of canyons and high-elevation flats, including Holcomb Valley and John Bull Flat, which have long histories of mining and ranching. The presence of Hitchcock Ranch and the site of Belleville point to the area's transition from early pioneer industry to a recreational hub in the early twenty-first century.

Institutional and scientific outposts are prominent along the shoreline, most notably the Big Bear Solar Observatory and various organizational sites such as Harold F Whittle Camp and Baldy Council Camp. A sophisticated system of forest roads and trails, including Coxey-Truck Trl and Rim of the World Dr, provides access to numerous recreation areas like Hanna Flat Campground and Serrano Campground. The map also details smaller residential enclaves such as Minnelusa and Fawnskin Valley situated along the mountain slopes.
