2015 Map of Sitton Peak

About this map

Sitton Peak dominates this section of the Cleveland National Forest, where the high ridgelines of the Santa Ana Mountains meet the Santa Margarita Mountains. The landscape is defined by its numerous potreros—grassy upland meadows—including Verdugo Potrero, Indian Potrero, and Round Potrero. These open spaces are connected by a network of historic fire roads and paths such as the Tenaja Truck Trl and Sitton Peak Truck Trl. A complex drainage system feeds into San Juan Cr and San Mateo Cr, supported by numerous perennial water sources like Pigeon Spring, Quail Spring, and Los Chinos Spring. The map documents a rugged wilderness area spanning the intersections of Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties, preserving the names of remote canyons like Wildhorse Canyon and Talega Canyon.
