2012 Map of Juniper Hills

About this map

Juniper Hills and the surrounding high desert canyonlands are defined by a complex intersection of historic ranching and modern water infrastructure. The Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct cuts across the northern landscape, a testament to the region's role in the state's hydraulic engineering. Settlement patterns here remain rooted in family-named holdings such as Saunders Ranch, Stanton Ranch, and Burkhart Ranch, many of which are situated near the seasonal drainages of Little Rock Cr and Pallett Cr. The presence of Butterfield Stage Rd hints at the area's older history as a transit corridor. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward the San Gabriel peaks, where Will Thrall Peak and Pallett Mountain overlook primitive recreational sites like Little Cedars Campground and Sycamore Campground.
