1996 Map of Toro Peak

About this map

Alpine Village and Pinyon Pines occupy the high desert transition of the San Bernardino National Forest during the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by the massive uplift of the Santa Rosa Mountains, anchored by the high summits of Toro Peak and Santa Rosa Mountain. This period shows a complex patchwork of land use, where the Santa Rosa Indian Reservation and Santa Rosa Wilderness meet. Equestrian and outdoor culture is evident through the Ribbonwood Equestrian Camp and remote sites like Toro Camp. Water remains a critical element of the geography, marked by numerous seasonal points like Mountain Home Spring, Virgin Spring, and the dry bed of Asbestos Spring. Trace the network of trails such as the Cactus Spring Trail and Pinyon Trail that connect these high-elevation camps and summits across Pinyon Flat.
