About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts a dramatic diagonal path through this 2015 survey, defining the valley that holds Hughes Lake, Munz Lakes, and Elizabeth Lake. This geological rift serves as the structural anchor for the communities of Lake Hughes and Elizabeth Lake, where residential streets like Lakeview Dr and Joey Ct cluster against the northern edge of the Angeles National Forest. The map also documents the critical water infrastructure of the region, including the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Second Los Angeles Aqueduct, which channel water toward the Fairmont Reservoir.

Further north, the terrain transitions into the high desert floor of the Antelope Valley near Fairmont, marked by distinctive features such as Fairmont Butte and Antelope Buttes. To the south, the landscape rises into the northern reaches of the forest, where Green Valley and Andrade Corner sit among significant peaks like Grass Mtn and Sawmill Mtn. This intersection of seismic geology, modern water management, and mountain settlements illustrates the unique development patterns of rural Los Angeles County.
