About this map

Pine Valley serves as a central point of activity at the base of the Pine Valley Mountains, where the Santa Clara River and its tributaries define the landscape. This 2011 survey illustrates a region shaped by ranching history and modern recreation, featuring historic sites like Rencher Ranch and Gardner Ranch alongside developed facilities such as the Pine Valley Forest Service Facility. The map detail shows a clear transition from the canyon floors of Grass Valley Creek to the high plateaus of Mahogany Point and Bens Pasture.

Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by the Grass Valley Reservoir and its associated Grass Valley Dam. For those interested in the recreational development of the Dixie National Forest area, the map precisely locates a cluster of campsites including the Ponderosa Campground, Upper Pines Campground, and Lower Pines Campground. The network of trails and roads provides access to isolated terrain like White Rocks Draw and the high elevation of Gardner Peak.
