About this map

San Gabriel Mountains recreation and infrastructure are the focus of this 1930s survey, detailing a landscape of rugged canyons and early mountain tourism. The iconic Mount Lowe Incline Cable Railway and the Pacific Electric RR (Scenic Line) provide a clear view of how travelers reached the high peaks, terminating at the Mt Lowe Tavern. Lower elevations show the residential fringe of Alta Loma Drive and the La Vina Sanatorium, while the interior is dotted with remote outposts like Switzers Camp and Oakwilde.
