About this map

San Bernardino National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the San Jacinto Mountains shown in this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by its extreme relief and a complex network of springs, including Dos Palmas Spring, Indian Spring, and Eagle Spring, which historically sustained travel through these desert ranges. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds along the western ridges, passing over Spitler Peak and near Palm View Peak.

Lower elevations to the northeast transition toward the western edge of Palm Springs, where deep drainages like Andreas Canyon and Palm Canyon cut through the mountains. Local history is reflected in named landmarks such as Hermits Bench, Hells Kitchen, and Devils Rockpile, alongside legacy routes like Fobes Ranch Rd and Morris Ranch Rd that provide access to the high flats of Tripp Meadow and Birthday Flat.
