1936 Map of Redrock Mountain

About this map

Liebre Mountain and the deep drainage of Fish Canyon dominate this topographic study, which highlights the early infrastructure of the Angeles National Forest during the 1930s. The landscape is defined by its industrial and utilitarian footprints, from the remote Billette Mine in Pine Canyon to the extensive Pipe Line and Telephone Line that track through the steep terrain. Small outposts of human activity appear as lonely waypoints, including the Kelly Ranch, Shelter House, and the Naylor Place near the southern margin. The presence of the C C Camp reflects the labor and conservation efforts of the era, while the famous Ridge Route winds along the southwestern heights, marking a critical early automotive passage through these highlands. Numerous springs, such as Cienaga Camp Spring and Rattlesnake Spring, suggest the vital importance of water management in this high-altitude environment.
