1978 Map of Warm Springs Mtn

About this map

Warm Springs Camp sits within a complex network of ridgelines and deep drainages in the Angeles National Forest during the late 1970s. This orthophotoquad, produced by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Forest Service, uses aerial imagery to reveal the stark contrast between the steep, shadowed slopes of Warm Springs Mtn. and the winding corridor of Francisquito Canyon. The visual data provides a clear record of the watershed and vegetation patterns surrounding Red Mountain, documenting the land surface before subsequent developments or natural changes altered the terrain. By using rectified photoimagery, the map captures the precise footprint of the camp and the local road system as it navigated the difficult topography of northern Los Angeles County.
