1981 Map of San Jacinto Peak

About this map

Idyllwild and Fern Valley anchor the southern base of the high peaks in this early 1980s record of the San Jacinto Mountains. The landscape is defined by its recreation and conservation history, featuring the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it winds across Fuller Ridge and through the San Jacinto Wilderness. Significant landmarks like Lily Rock and Suicide Rock overlook the settlements, while the presence of several campgrounds such as Stone Creek Campground and Marion Mtn Campground highlights the area's development as a mountain retreat. The map details a sophisticated network of trails and fire roads, including the Panoramic Highway and State Highway 243. Historical land use is evident in the inclusion of the San Jacinto Game Refuge and scattered water infrastructure like the Gaging Station on Snow Creek.
