[NHCOLL-L:4677] Obscure archaic CA locality

Apologies for x-posting.

We have a number of specimens, including type material, collected in 
the 1930's from a site in the San Bernardino Mountains known as 
either "Tetley Park" or "Tetley's Mountain Camp". It was, evidently, 
well-known at the time, and even had some species named after it 
(e.g., Andrena tetleyi). The problem is, I cannot find any maps, 
either in print or online, or any gazetteers (including the USGS GNIS 
system, which includes outdated names) which give an actual 
georeference for this locale. On the off chance that someone else 
either knows this locality or has managed to find a georeference for 
it, I'm sending out this request for help. I've pretty much exhausted 
all the resources I have access to, and now it's a matter of dumb 
luck.

Thanks in advance,
