1958 Map of Whitaker Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Whitaker Peak and the high mountain terrain of northwestern Los Angeles County dominate this 1958 survey. The landscape is defined by the steep descent of Violin Canyon and Marple Canyon, where the Golden State Highway winds through the Angeles National Forest. Significant transportation infrastructure is visible, including the alignment of Old Route 99 and various firebreaks that crisscross the ridges near Townsend Peak. Small enclaves and remote outposts such as Paradise Ranch, Frenchmans Flat Campground, and Osito appear along the mountain corridors. The map provides a look at the mid-century development of the region's roadway system before modern interstate expansions, showing local features like the Whitaker Peak Lookout and several named springs and flats that served as critical points in this arid, high-elevation environment.
