1902 Map of San Gorgonio

About this map

Holcomb Valley and Bear Valley serve as the focal points for high-altitude industry and settlement in this turn-of-the-century San Bernardino survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from the arid Mohave Desert in the north, punctuated by Old Woman Springs and Means Wells, to the timbered heights of the San Bernardino Mountains. Gold mining history is visible at Rose Mine and the settlement of Doble, while the presence of Lakeview Mill near Baldwin Lake reflects the area's timber and milling operations.
