1935 Map of Whitaker Peak

About this map

Piru Creek carves a deep path through the transition between Los Padres National Forest and Angeles National Forest in this mid-century survey of northern Los Angeles County. The map documents the early infrastructure of the region, anchored by the Golden State Highway as it winds along the eastern edge near Fisher Spring. This era was characterized by a reliance on fire suppression and forestry management, evidenced by the strategic placement of the Whitaker Peak Lookout and the Oak Flat Guard Sta.
