1937 Map of Red Rover

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone bisects this mountainous landscape, creating a striking geological corridor that includes Elizabeth Lake and the Amargosa Creek drainage. Surveyed in the early 1930s with cultural updates in 1950, the map illustrates a transition from mining activities to rural ranching. Industrial remnants are visible at the Red Rover Mine and the Puritan Mine, while family operations such as Messer Ranch and Hauser Ranch indicate the scattered settlement patterns within the Angeles National Forest.
