1959 Map of Waterman Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Angeles Crest Highway winds through this high-elevation landscape, serving as the primary corridor for a dense concentration of recreational and youth camps established by the late 1950s. The map reveals a specialized alpine community including Camp Pasadena, Camp Singing Pines, and Camp Valcrest, many of which were built near the road's crest for summer retreat and winter access. To the south, the terrain falls away into the deep drainage of Devils Canyon and the headwaters of the West Fork San Gabriel River, showcasing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes between Waterman Mtn and the isolated Louies Cabin. Resource management infrastructure is evident through the Buckhorn Guard Sta and Conservation Camp 37, highlighting the Forest Service's active oversight of the Angeles National Forest during this era of mid-century expansion.
