About this map

Pacifico Mountain rises as a central landmark in this high-altitude portion of the Angeles National Forest, where the landscape is defined by deep drainages like Santiago Canyon and Aliso Canyon. The map documents a rugged territory where recreational and industrial interests meet, featuring the Little Rock Resort situated along the Little Rock Reservoir and the Gold Dust Mine tucked into the mountain slopes. Transportation corridors such as the Angeles Forest Highway and Mount Emma Road provide access to remote outposts and ranches.

Local landmarks like the Mill Creek Summit Station and the Desert Marksmen Rifle Range suggest a landscape used for both forest management and public recreation during the late twentieth century. Family-named holdings, including Niles Ranch, Montgomery Ranch, and Wagonwheel Ranch, are visible along the western canyons, marking the long-standing human presence in this part of the San Gabriel Mountains before the turn of the millennium.
