Geography

[edit]

The forest is divided into two large areas or tracts onUnited States Geological Survey maps, a northern and southern portion.

The west border of the forest adjoinsAngeles National Forest and runs north-south about ten miles west ofInterstate 15. At its widest parts, the northern portion of the forest runs about 57 miles (90 km) on an east–west dimension. It runs about 24 miles (40 km) on a north–south dimension. This portion of the forest encompasses theSan Bernardino Mountains. The area extends west of Mount San Antonio andWrightwood inSan Bernardino County. The eastern portion of the forest extends about ten miles east ofBig Bear City and includes theSan Gorgonio Wilderness. The southernmost portion is bisected by theRiverside County line and borders theMorongo Indian Reservation north ofCabazon.

At its widest point, the southern portion is about 27 miles (40 km) on a north-south dimension and about 30 miles (50 km) on an east-west dimension.Toro Peak and theSanta Rosa Indian Reservation are near the south extent. At the north is Snow Creek Village and the Morongo Indian Reservation.Mount San Jacinto State Wilderness is carved out of the southern portion. The community ofIdyllwild is surrounded by national forest lands.

While most National Forests include lumber resources, these two areas also include:

Residential communities and resorts
