1956 Map of Lake Arrowhead

About this map

Lake Arrowhead and the surrounding mountain communities of Blue Jay and Cedar Glen are captured here during a period of mid-century development. While the southern portion of the map is defined by the high-elevation recreation sites and residential pockets like Deer Lodge Park, the northern half descends into the high desert landscape of Apple Valley Community Center and the Lucerne Valley. This contrast highlights the region's diverse settlement patterns, from the alpine forest of the San Bernardino National Forest to the ranching and colony lands of the Mojave basin.
