1995 Map of Mint Canyon

About this map

The Santa Clara River valley serves as the primary corridor for development and transit in this 1990s revision, where the Sierra Highway and Antelope Valley Freeway intersect at Solemint Junction. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the dense residential expansion in Honby and Solemint and the protected mountainous terrain of the Angeles National Forest. Small settlements like Humphreys and Mint Canyon are situated along the valley floors, while the southern reaches of the map highlight the Placerita Canyon State Park and the Placerita Nature Center. Numerous canyons, including Bouquet Canyon and Tick Canyon, reveal a complex network of ridgelines and intermittent drainages. Evidence of the area's mixed land use appears through features such as the Sulphur Spring Sch. and a Strip Mine located east of Sand Canyon.
