2018 Map of Silverwood Lake

About this map

Silverwood Lake serves as the focal point of this 2018 survey, where the infrastructure of the Governor Edmund G Brown East Branch California Aqueduct meets the southern edge of the Hesperia high desert. The map captures the sharp transition from the residential development around Lugo and the Hesperia Airport to the steep, protected terrain of the San Bernardino National Forest. Outdoor recreational history is well-documented here, with the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winding through the complex topography of Cleghorn Ridge and Sawpit Canyon. To the south, the mountain community of Cedarpines Park sits at the edge of the San Bernardino Mountains, surrounded by named peaks and overlooks like Jamajab Point, Pillars of God, and Breezy Point, providing a detailed look at the interface between San Bernardino County's growing desert cities and its forest wilderness.
