This page gives the names of the USGS 7.5' Topo Maps that cover the San Bernardino Mountain National Forest, along with their publication dates. This page includes the easternmost maps covering the San Gabriel Mountains.
In comparison, the USGS topo maps that cover the San Gabriel Mountains are much more recent than other areas in Southern California, with all but two maps from 1995 or later. For comparison, the median year of these maps is 1988 (oldest map is 1958!), and is 1975 for San Diego County (oldest is 1959!).
However, I learned on 3/11/00 that the USGS site has some errors for at least some of the dates. See the caveat on the USGS 7.5' Topo Maps For the San Gabriel Mountains.
All USGS topo maps are now available on the web at TopoZone, although they don't state what the dates of their maps are. For other maps on the web, including ordering topo maps, see Maps and Topographic Information.
Map Coverage By USGS 7.5' Topo Maps, With Publication Dates The version in the 1997 Topo! CD-ROMs is marked with (T) following the date. Topos with no (T) are not included in the Los Angeles or San Diego editions. The dates with a question mark are dates given by the Topo! CD-ROM which are later than the latest date stated by USGS. It is likely that some of the USGS dates are old, since my printed copy of the Murrieta, CA map says photorevised 1979, even though the online USGS date is 1976.
