About this map

The Los Angeles Aqueduct and Second Los Angeles Aqueduct define the industrial and hydrological character of this high-desert corridor. These massive infrastructure projects parallel the western shoreline of the North Haiwee Reservoir and South Haiwee Reservoir, which serve as critical storage and regulation points for water traveling south. Near the southern edge of the upper reservoir, the small settlement of Haiwee stands as a focal point for the maintenance and management of this complex system.

East of the water, the terrain rises toward Haiwee Ridge and the broad expanse of Cactus Flat. The landscape is etched with ephemeral drainages like Hogback Cr and Summit Cr, which descend from the surrounding highlands. A network of access routes, including Haiwee Reservoir Rd and Cactus Flats Rd, provides passage through this arid environment, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and twentieth-century utility engineering.
