1939 Map of Mt. Lowe

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

San Gabriel Mountains peaks and the steep canyons of the Angeles National Forest define this late-1930s survey, capturing the era of mountain tourism and early fire management. The intricate network of the Pacific Electric Scenic RR and the Mount Lowe Incline are clearly visible, tracing the path to the Mt Lowe Tavern and Inspiration Point. These landmarks represent the "Railway to the Clouds," a major engineering feat of the early 20th century that turned Mt Lowe and Echo Mountain into premier destinations.
