1956 Map of Lake Fulmor

About this map

Morongo Indian Reservation and the Soboba Indian Reservation flank this high-altitude landscape in the San Jacinto Mountains. The area serves as a significant recreational and institutional hub within the San Bernardino National Forest, featuring the Girl Scout Camp, Trailfinders Camp, and the Mt Oak Boys Ranch. The topography is defined by prominent peaks like Black Mountain and Ranger Peak, while the San Jacinto River and its numerous tributaries such as Poppet Creek and Indian Creek drain the steep canyons. This survey reflects a mid-century period when remote resource management and youth camps were established in the backcountry, supported by the Vista Grande Guard Station. Local features like Lake Fulmor and various springs, including Pigeon Spring and Peach Tree Spring, highlight the essential water sources in this arid montane environment.
