2015 Map of Waterman Mountain

About this map

Waterman Mtn and the surrounding high ridges of the San Gabriel Mountains dominate this 2015 survey of the Angeles National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic vertical relief, where peaks like Winston Peak and Twin Peaks tower over deeply incised drainages including Cloudburst Canyon and Devils Canyon. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds across the northern portion of the map, passing near Cloudburst Summit and Winston Ridge, providing a clear record of recreational infrastructure in the early 21st century. High-altitude points of interest such as Buckhorn Flat and the small settlement at Cedar Springs are situated along the ridge networks, while the southern half of the quadrangle is characterized by a complex system of remote canyons, notably Big Mermaids Canyon and Lobo Canyon, which feed into the watershed of the W Fork Bear Cr.
