1956 Map of Telegraph Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Swarthout Valley and the high ridges of the San Gabriel Mountains dominate this topographic study, which captures the region as it transitioned through the mid-1950s with late-1960s updates. The dramatic geology of the San Andreas Rift Zone bisects the terrain, creating a complex landscape of deep canyons and sharp peaks like Telegraph Peak and Thunder Mtn. The settlement of Wrightwood is visible in the northwest, while several family-held sites including Nuss Ranch, Clyde Ranch, and Nielson Ranch are scattered along the canyons and jeep trails.
