About this map

Liebre Mountain and the surrounding Angeles National Forest define this landscape along the tectonic boundary of the San Andreas Rift Zone. Historical travel through these northern mountains is documented by the path of the Old Ridge Route, where travelers once stopped at local waypoints like the Tumble Inn and Halfway Inn. Higher elevations host the U S Weather Bureau Station near Sandberg, while the modern California Aqueduct cuts through the northern terrain, indicating the region's vital role in water infrastructure.

Legacy ranching and mining activities are scattered throughout the deep canyons and ridges. Named sites such as Rancho Corona Del Valle and the Knapp Ranch sit among diverse drainage systems like Castaic Creek and Cienaga Creek. For those interested in resource extraction history, the map identifies the Ghetto Mine and The Paddock Prospect, alongside numerous unnamed prospects tucked into the slopes of Redrock Mountain.
