About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone slices through the northern portion of this landscape, creating the distinctive linear topography of the Leona Valley. This 1958 survey, updated with 1974 revisions, captures a transitional period in the canyons north of the Santa Clarita region, where scattered settlements like Martindale, Sleepy Valley, and White Heather are interspersed among large private holdings such as Ritter Ranch and Annan Ranch.

Resource extraction and water management define the rugged southern reaches within the Angeles National Forest. Significant features include the Gray Eagle Mine and numerous prospects, alongside the massive Bouquet Reservoir. The map tracks the convergence of local infrastructure, from the winding Bouquet Canyon Road to the Sierra Highway, which passes through the community of The Oaks near the southern boundary.
