HM 83937-83938: Two-volume report, "Angeles Forest Trails," compiled by Division of Hiking, Nature Study and Conservation / Public Recreation - Works Project Administration (W.P.A.) Project SA - 2290 / Sponsored by Los Angeles County Department of Recreation Camps and Playgrounds, dated 1936. The scrapbooks consist of carbon-copy typescripts, illustrated with original photographs, maps, newspaper and magazine clippings, almost all of which are pasted into the volumes, although a few newspaper clippings and an occasional photograph have been laid-in and dates from 1936-1938. The volumes include information provided by various committee members about the geology, birds, flora, fauna of the San Gabriel Range. HM 83937 includes various recreational resources as far east as the Mojave Desert, while HM 83938 details local recreation areas on the North Fork of the San Gabriel River. The basic information about the Angeles National Forest in each volume appears identical.
