About this map

The San Gabriel Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the sprawling recreational and scientific infrastructure established by the mid-1930s. This survey, conducted by R.W. Burchard, highlights a period when Los Angeles County heavily invested in mountain retreats, evidenced by the Big Pines Recreation Camp of Los Angeles County and its sister facility, the Prairie Fork Recreation Camp. These camps are remarkably detailed, showing specific amenities like Tennis Courts, a Rodeo Corral, and even a Master Ski Jump.
