About this map

Lake Arrowhead serves as the centerpiece of this high-altitude community within the San Bernardino National Forest. The 1971 survey details a landscape of specialized lakeside development, featuring intricate inlets like Blue Jay Bay, Emerald Bay, and Rainbow Bay. The surrounding infrastructure reflects a mid-century period of established mountain living and recreation, with the Mountains Community Hospital, Lake Arrowhead Sch, and a private golf course serving the growing population at Deer Lodge Park and Cedar Glen.

Transitioning from the forested residential enclaves to the north, the terrain drops toward the Mojave River Forks Reservoir and the arid Ord Mountains. This transition zone is marked by traditional ranching and camping outposts, including Bowen Ranch and the Rock Camp Guard Station. A network of rugged jeep trails and pack trails crisscross the canyons of Deep Creek and Maloney Canyon, revealing a world of remote prospects and mountain flats.
