1996 Map of Silverwood Lake

About this map

Silverwood Lake serves as a central reservoir within the Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area, reflecting the complex water management systems of the late 20th century. The California Aqueduct flows through the northern reaches of the Antelope Valley, emphasizing the engineering required to move water across this arid landscape. This map details the intersection of high-desert terrain and the San Bernardino National Forest, where the West Fork Mojave River and Mojave River meet near the Forks Reservoir. Local history is captured in landmarks like Las Flores Ranch and the Las Flores School, while the southern portion of the sheet highlights recreational and community nodes such as Camp Seeley and the residential area of Cedarpines Park. The presence of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Rim of the World Scenic Byway illustrates the area's importance as a gateway for outdoor transit.
