2012 Map of Harrison Mountain

About this map

Lake Arrowhead and the surrounding resort communities sit at the northern crest of this San Bernardino County landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates the dense development in the mountain peaks compared to the organized grid of Highland and Patton in the valley below. The transition from the high-altitude settlements of Skyforest, Twin Peaks, and Rimforest down to the suburban expansion at Amber Hills is marked by steep canyons and complex fire-access routes like the Sand Canyon Truck Trl. Unique cultural markers are present throughout, including the site of Santas Village near Hencks Meadow and the Indian Cem located near the mouth of Sand Canyon. The presence of the Highland Canal at the base of McKinley Mountain shows the critical water infrastructure supporting the valley's development.
