2021 Map of Valyermo

About this map

Antelope Valley and the high desert transition into the steep northern slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains in this modern survey. The infrastructure of the Governor Edmund G. Brown East Branch California Aqueduct cuts across the northern landscape, contrasting with the dramatic geological formations of the Devils Punchbowl and Devils Chair to the south. Central to the area is the settlement of Valyermo, which sits at the base of the mountains where Big Rock Cr emerges from its canyon. Aviation history is represented by Crystal Airport, while spiritual and local history is anchored by Saint Andrews Abbey Cem. The map captures a unique intersection of high-desert ranching, indicated by labels like the Turkey Ranch, and the vast protected lands of the Angeles National Forest.
