About this map

Angeles National Forest dominates this landscape, where high peaks like Warm Springs Mtn and Red Mountain overlook a complex network of canyons and water infrastructure. The map records the mid-century development of the area, featuring the Castaic Lake State Recreation Area and the Castaic Lagoon. A significant revision in the late 1980s reveals the expanding footprint of the Castaic Lake reservoir and its spillway.

Utility and recreation define the human presence here, from the Los Angeles Aqueduct Tunnel and San Francisquito Powerhouse No 2 to seasonal destinations like Warm Springs Camp, Canyon Christian Camp, and Prospect Campground. Remote outposts such as the Elizabeth Lake Guard Station and the Clay Pit reflect the varied uses of the land. The terrain is marked by numerous drainage systems including San Francisquito Canyon, Bitter Canyon, and Dry Gulch.
