1939 Map of Mt. Lowe

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The San Gabriel Mountains rise sharply in this 1930s survey, documenting a period of intense recreational development within the Angeles National Forest. A primary focus of the sheet is the elaborate infrastructure on Mt Lowe and Echo Mountain, where the Cable Incline and Scenic RR once carried visitors to the famed Mt Lowe Tavern. This early-century alpine tourist destination is preserved here alongside the Angeles Crest Highway, then a critical new artery through the high country.
