2018 Map of Pacifico Mountain

About this map

Angeles National Forest dominates this section of the San Gabriel Mountains, where the high desert of the north meets steep ridges. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southern terrain, crossing near Mill Creek Summit and passing just south of Pacifico Mtn. To the northwest, the settlement of Vincent marks a key transit point near Soledad Pass, where the headwaters of the Santa Clara River begin their descent. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with named ridges like Mt Emma Ridge and deep cuts such as Soledad Canyon and Kentucky Springs Canyon. Water sources are sparse but critical in this arid environment, evidenced by Little Rock Reservoir in the northeast and several isolated springs, including Aliso Spring and Fountainhead Spring. A network of utility and service roads, such as the Pacific Telephone Access Rd and the Santiago Truck Trl, provides modern access through the complex canyon systems.
