About this map

Green Valley Lake and Running Springs serve as the primary mountain settlements in this high-elevation portion of the San Bernardino National Forest. In the late 1960s, the area was a concentrated hub for youth recreation and organizational retreats, evidenced by numerous sites like the Hollywood Boys Club, Camp Awahanee, and Camp Wintaka nestled among the peaks. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, rising toward Keller Peak and Mill Peak, with the Rim of the World Drive providing the central transportation spine through the communities.

Water management and infrastructure are visible through several gaging stations and the Santa Ana Aqueduct along the Santa Ana River. This survey captures the transition from small mountain retreats to more established settlements, including the presence of the Running Springs Sch and various service stations like Deer Lick Station. The southeastern corner remains less developed, marked by the Thomas Hunting Grounds and steep canyons like Monroe Canyon.
