1955 Map of Alpine

About this map

The Sequan Indian Reservation and various family-named ranches anchor this mid-century topographic record of the San Diego backcountry. The terrain is characterized by steep canyons and valleys, with El Capitan Reservoir to the north and Loveland Reservoir to the south, the latter held by the Sweetwater Falls Dam. Human settlement is concentrated in pockets such as Alpine, where the Alpine Union High Sch serves as a local landmark, and the residential communities of Suncrest and La Cresta.
