Shaded relief regional map printed on two sides with topographic contour map insets of prime hiking areas. This map was originally published as a supplement to the guidebook Trails of the Angeles: 100 Hikes in the San Gabriels, by John W. Robinson (which we do not stock). The map is quite useful on its own merits.One side shows the shaded relief map, which covers the area from Newhall in the west to Cajon Pass in the east.

The other maps are shaded-relief enhanced contour maps at larger (more detailed) scale. These show the Big Tujunga Area, Crystal Lake Area, the region north of Pasadena, and the Mount Baldy Area. Features on the maps are fully indexed. There is also a list of the 100 trails described in the guidebook (again, not sold here) and keyed on the map.

Pacific Crest Trail: Southern California
USDA Forest Service, Pacific Crest Trail: 2004 California Series – Southern California
This is the first in a planned series of ten topographic maps covering the entire route. This one extends from the Mexican border 250 miles north to just above Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino National Forest. It includes sections crossing portions of desert mountains, but is predominantly in more coastal-influenced ranges. Shows segments going through Cleveland and San Bernardino national forests, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Mt. San Jacinto State Park, and the BLM's Santa Rosa and San Jacinto National Monument.The map is printed on two sides, with each of four panels covering a major section of the trail. The map is designed such that if you cut it vertically down the middle, you would have a complete map of segment 1 and 2 on one sheet, and segments 3 and 4 on the other. The resulting twin maps are folded such that you can easily reference them in the field without having to open them out more than one fold—a very useful attribute in windy conditions.
Each map shows elevation contours emphasized with shaded relief, and the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is marked more prominently than any other feature. Color tints readily distinguish the land management agencies responsible for the various reserves the trail passes through, including Forest Service, California State Parks, and Bureau of Land Management. Besides showing the PCT, the maps also detail about 4 to 8 miles of adjacent areas on each side of the trail, and shows side trails, dirt and paved roads, campgrounds, campsites, picnic areas, trailheads, water availability, parking areas, Forest Service facilities, and much more.
As good as the map is, this publication is more than a map: It also gives lots of useful information related to hiking the trail, including history, wildlife to watch out for, Leave No Trace wilderness ethics, common trees, and more, illustrated with many excellent color photos. Each trail segment panel also includes a trail profile, which helps you readily see where the uphills and downhills lie. Printed on waterproof, tear-resistant plastic, protected by a card cover.

USDA Forest Service, Pacific Crest Trail: California Series – The Transverse Ranges: Big Bear Lake to Tehachapi Pass
This is the second in the planned series of ten topographic maps covering the entire route. This one extends from Nelson Ridge several miles east of Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino National Forest to about 256 miles west and north to Tehachapi Pass and a bit beyond. Most of the coverage is in the mountains east and northeast of Los Angeles, but includes sections crossing portions of the Mojave Desert and in the Tehachapi Range, the mountains leading to the Sierra Nevada. Shows segments going through San Bernardino and Angeles national forests, Silverwood Lake State Reacreation Area, Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, Antelope Valley (including portions following the Los Angeles Aqueduct), and the wind farms near Tehachapi Pass.The map is printed on two sides, with each of four panels covering a major section of the trail. Like the first map in this series, the map is designed such that if you cut it vertically down the middle, you would have a complete map of segment 1 and 2 on one sheet, and segments 3 and 4 on the other.
