About this map

Green Valley and the small settlement of Las Cantilles anchor this study of the northern reaches of the Angeles National Forest in the mid-2010s. The landscape is defined by the massive infrastructure of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, which transitions through the Aqueduct Tunnel and passes by Aqueduct Spring. This area serves as a critical corridor for both water and recreation, as evidenced by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winding through the high ridges of the northeast corner.

Terrain features are prominent, ranging from the heights of Jupiter Mtn and the Sierra Pelona range to the deep canyons of San Francisquito Canyon and Bouquet Canyon. The Bouquet Reservoir stands as a major hydrological landmark, while numerous springs such as Plum Spring and Whisky Spring dot the mountain slopes. Forest service roads and truck trails like the Texas Canyon Truck Trl provide the primary access to these remote ridges and flats.
