About this map

Mountain Home Village and Forest Falls anchor this 2021 study of the high-elevation communities within the San Bernardino National Forest. The map documents a rugged interface where steep peaks like San Bernardino East Peak and Anderson Peak tower over residential pockets along Mill Creek Canyon. Settlement patterns are concentrated in the canyon floors and on unique geological benches, such as Pine Bench and Banning Bench, while the southern reaches descend toward the northern limits of Yucaipa and Banning.

A dense network of service roads and recreational paths, including the San Bernardino Peak Trl and Falls Creek Trl, illustrates the modern utility and access within this protected wilderness. Distinctive landmarks like Monkeyface Falls and Big Falls highlight the drainage systems that define the topography, while local institutions such as the Valley of the Falls Community Church provide a glimpse into the established character of these mountain enclaves.
