1936 Map of Waterman Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The high peaks and drainages of the San Gabriel Mountains dominate this mid-1930s topographical study, a period when this part of Los Angeles County remained largely a wilderness of steep ridges and seasonal water sources. The Newcomb Ranch stands out as a rare point of human habitation in the high country, serving as a landmark for early travelers near Waterman Mtn. This map captures the intricate drainage patterns of the South Fork and Rock Creek, along with named natural water points like Sulphur Spr and Cedar Camp Spring that were vital for early mountain navigation. The survey, conducted by C.A. Ecklund and R.W. Burchard, highlights the complex terrain of Buckhorn Flat and the surrounding heights of Twin Peaks and Pleasant View Ridge before modern development reached into these elevations.
