About this map

Barrett Lake and its primary engineering works dominate this mid-century survey of the San Diego backcountry. The landscape is defined by the Barrett Dam, which impounds the waters of Cottonwood Creek and Boneyard Canyon. Downstream water management is evidenced by the Cottonwood Conduit and Cottonwood Tunnel, infrastructure critical for regional water transport.

Settlement patterns throughout Cleveland National Forest are primarily agricultural and institutional, featuring the Eichenlaub Ranch, Walker Ranch, and Bratton Ranch. The presence of the Barrett Honor Camp and the Japatul Sta suggests a landscape managed for both utility and conservation. Significant peaks such as Lawson Peak, Gaskill Peak, and Mother Grundy Peak overlook the valleys, while localized ranching activity is concentrated in areas like Lawson Valley and Skye Valley.
