About this map

The San Gabriel Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for this mid-1930s survey, capturing the complex network of mountain resorts and technical infrastructure above Pasadena. This era represents a peak for the region's mountain tourism, centered around the engineering marvel of the Mt Lowe Ry, which winds its way toward the Mt Lowe Tavern and the overlook at Inspiration Point. The landscape is dotted with early 20th-century recreational sites like Switzers Camp and Oakwilde, reflecting the heavy public use of the Angeles National Forest.
