About this map

Aguanga and Oak Grove sit at the intersection of high desert valleys and forest land in the mid-1950s. This survey, with 1971 photorevisions, tracks the landscape of the Riverside Co San Diego Co border, where the Cahuilla Indian Reservation meets the northern boundary of the Cleveland National Forest. The map documents a rugged interior network of watercourses, including Temecula Creek and Tule Creek, which carve through the Aguanga Valley.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Oak Grove Stage Station Historical Marker in the Oak Grove Valley, a site that points to the area's importance as a mid-19th-century travel corridor. The terrain is marked by prominent landmarks such as Tule Peak and Billy Goat Mtn, while early infrastructure is visible through the High Point Truck Trail and the Bradford Road, reflecting the era's land management and forest access routes.
