About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone bisects this landscape, creating a distinct geological break between the high desert and the steep terrain of the Angeles National Forest. In the late 1990s, the community of Juniper Hills serves as the primary residential anchor, situated at the base of the mountains where the alluvial fans of Cima Mesa meet the valley floor. The map highlights the complex water management systems of the region, featuring the California Aqueduquct as it carries water across the arid landscape north of the rift.

Industrial and recreational markers are scattered throughout, from old Shafts near the northern border to a Landing Strip and Swimming Pool that point toward modern settlement patterns. Significant peaks like Pallett Mountain and Will Thrall Peak dominate the southern portion, while a network of canyons including Indian Bill Canyon and Matay Canyon drain the high Pleasant View Ridge toward the north.
