1956 Map of Mescal Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Angeles National Forest and San Bernardino National Forest meet in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal camps and high-altitude recreation. The southern portion of the map is densely populated with community-specific retreats like YMCA Camp, All Nations Camp, and Camp Verdugo Pines, gathered around the waters of Jackson Lake. Further east, Table Mountain hosts the Smithsonian Observatory and a Ski Lift, highlighting the area's dual role as a scientific and alpine leisure destination. In the lower elevations to the north, the terrain shifts toward a desert-edge economy where Fort Tejon Road skirts Desert Springs and family-held outposts such as Hagenbaugh Ranch. The transition from the steep canyons of Mescal Creek to the alluvial flats reflects the complex geography at the county line between Los Angeles and San Bernardino.
