About this map

The high ridges of the San Jacinto Mountains dominate this 2021 survey, centered on the prominent Palm View Peak and extending across the San Bernardino National Forest. This section of the wilderness is characterized by steep canyons and numerous natural water sources, including Dos Palmas Spring, Mad Woman Spring, and Aqua Bonita Spring. The Palm Canyon Creek-Wild and Scenic River carves through the eastern portion of the map, illustrating the critical drainage systems of this high-elevation landscape.

Outdoor heritage and trail networks are well-documented, featuring the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl as it winds past Spitler Peak and Fobes Saddle. Notable landmarks such as Hells Kitchen and the Devils Rockpile provide unique geographical reference points for researchers. Local flats and meadows, such as Tripp Meadow, Bullseye Flat, and Goff Flat, suggest the historical use of more level ground amidst the peaks for grazing or early camps.
