The San Gabriel Dam is just upstream and the pipe leading to the penstocks at the canyon mouth are on the east slope somewhere at the base of your photo.

The dam is up canyon to the right and on the other side of a ridge. The road you see is R39. The water is the lake behind Morris Dam. The structures you see are/were bunkers near the heliport at the mouth of Islip Canyon. The structure I am talking about is an abandoned Girl Scout Camp cabin in Garcia Canyon.
