1902 Map of San Gorgonio

About this map

San Gorgonio Mt. anchors this high-altitude landscape during a decade when the San Bernardino Mountains were transitioning from isolated mining camps to early recreation. The map highlights the extensive mining activity around the Holcomb Valley area, evidenced by industrial sites like the Rose Mine and Lakeview Mill, as well as the settlement at Doble. To the north, the terrain drops into the Mojave Desert, where life centered on vital water sources like Means Wells and Old Woman Springs.
