The Arroyo Seco defines the central axis of this landscape, separating the residential grid of Pasadena and Altadena from the slopes of the San Rafael Hills. This 2012 record documents the area just as the suburban footprint met the rising elevations of Brown Mountain. The map details the transition from the dense urban developments of Glendale and Eagle Rock to the recreational and open spaces of the canyon lands. Significant public landmarks such as the Rose Bowl and Brookside Golf Course occupy the broad wash, while higher elevations are marked by specialized sites like Camp Sierra and Camp Chiquita.
