2015 Map of San Fernando

About this map

The San Gabriel Mountains and the northern reaches of the San Fernando Valley meet on this 2015 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by water management and dense suburban expansion. The critical infrastructure of the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Van Norman Bypass Reservoir system sits adjacent to established neighborhoods like Sylmar and Mission Hills. This interface between the steep, canyon-cut terrain of the Angeles National Forest and the valley floor is further managed by a series of debris basins, such as the Wilson Debris Basin and Yarnell Debris Basin, designed to protect the residential grid from mountain runoff.
