The iconic outdoor set for the beloved TV series M*A*S*H, representing the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Korea, was actually located in Malibu Creek State Park, California. While a 1982 wildfire destroyed many structures, key elements survived and became landmarks. Visitors can hike to the site and still find rusted Jeeps and ambulances used in the show, along with the iconic directional signpost pointing to various cities. Though weathered by time and nature, these remnants offer a powerful nostalgic connection to the classic series amidst the scenic California hills.
