1960 Map of Barrett Lake

About this map

Barrett Lake and the structural infrastructure of the Barrett Dam anchor this mid-century survey of the San Diego backcountry. The landscape is defined by the managed water resources of the Cleveland National Forest, featuring smaller reservoirs like Henry Jr Dam and Mary Jo Dam in Skye Valley. Human activity is marked by established holdings such as Eichenlaub Ranch, Walker Ranch, and Bratton Ranch, alongside the Barrett Honor Camp. A network of utility and transport links, including a conduit, tunnel, and the Japatul Road, reveal how this mountainous terrain was integrated into the regional water and fire-management systems. Peaks like Lawson Peak, Mother Grundy Peak, and Gaskill Peak provide significant elevation markers among the deep drainages of Cottonwood Creek and Wilson Creek.
