About this map

Barton Flats and the surrounding high-altitude landscapes of the San Bernardino National Forest appear in high detail on this 1990s revision. The map illustrates a dense concentration of seasonal and youth camps south of the Santa Ana River, including Camp River Glen, Camp Morningstar, and Camp Mile High Pines, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a recreational refuge. To the north, the residential communities of Moonridge and Sugarloaf border the Bear Mountain Ski Area, showing the transition from mountain settlements to protected wilderness.

Outdoor infrastructure is a prominent theme, with the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winding through the San Gorgonio Wilderness and numerous smaller routes like the Heart Bar Trail providing access to the backcountry. The presence of Jenks Lake and the various springs throughout Wildhorse Meadows highlights the importance of water management and natural resources in this arid alpine environment.
