Actually, the Tom Harrison Mt Wilson map provides more detail for these runs, not that you can't get by with the Front Country one. They should have both at the REI in Arcadia or possibly Distant Lands (travel store) in Pasadena; call first as they're popular and Distance Lands is sometime spotty on topo map coverage. The connector between Bailey Canyon and Mt Wilson trail is less traveled but it's signed. The Sam Merrill one is also signed at every intersection.
Found this online if you don't want to buy a map:
