1936 Map of Red Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

San Francisquito Power House No 2 stands as a focal point of infrastructure in this 1941 revised landscape, highlighting the critical role of water and power management in the San Francisquito region. The industrial character of the era is clearly visible through the winding path of the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Los Angeles Transmission Line, which carve through the high terrain. These engineering feats are contrasted by remote outposts such as the Elizabeth Lake Guard Station and the Warm Spring Lookout, reflecting the ongoing efforts in fire prevention and forest management. Local life is anchored by the Bee Sch and a Public Camp, while the natural drainage system of Elizabeth Lake Canyon and San Francisquito Canyon defines the steep topography. The presence of Drinkwater Reservoir further emphasizes the mid-century focus on securing resources for the growing coastal population.
