2015 Map of Rattlesnake Canyon

About this map

San Bernardino National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the high desert meets the northern slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, ranging from the open expanse of Johnson Valley in the northeast to the prominent height of Tip Top Mtn near the southern boundary. This area serves as a critical watershed for the desert below, evidenced by numerous isolated water sources such as Two Hole Spring, Mound Spring, and Vaughn Spring, which historically supported movement through these arid canyons.
