2011 Map of High Rolls

About this map

High Rolls and Mountain Park form the residential heart of this canyon-dissected landscape in the Sacramento Mountains. The 2011 survey reveals a complex network of forest roads and trails, such as Bootlegger Rd and Skyline Trl, winding through the drainage systems of Fresnal Creek and La Luz Creek. This era of the region is defined by its transition from historic resource extraction to recreation and mountain living, evidenced by the proximity of the Warnock Mine and Courtney Mine to modern landmarks like the YMCA Skyline Ranch and Tunnel Vista. Local geography is intricately detailed with named canyons like Mexican Canyon and Wooten Canyon, while higher elevations are marked by Calico Peak and Ortega Peak. The map serves as a precise record of late-twentieth-century residential expansion along narrow ridges, where development follows the contours of the terrain near the Karr Canyon Picnic Area and numerous campgrounds.
