The Arrowhead Landmark:
Located on the hills over San Bernardino,
the Arrowhead has been an important
landmark for centuries. It is believed to be a
natural feature but its true origin is unknown.
The distinctive arrowhead shape is visible
because the white sage, which grows inside
the Arrowhead, contrasts sharply with the
darker chaparral vegetation outside.
Many fires have burned the landmark resulting
in gully erosion. Check dams have been
constructed in an effort to slow down the erosion
process and help protect and preserve
the Arrowhead outline. Bushes were planted
on the outline for this same purpose.
