2012 Map of Bucksnort Mountain

About this map

Bucksnort Mountain and Combs Peak anchor the high ground in this segment of San Diego County, where the landscape is defined by deep drainages and cattle-era heritage. The map documents an intricate network of specialized roads and trails, such as Old Cattle Ter, Covered Wagon Ter, and Broken Wheel Ter, reflecting the area's history of ranching and early transit. Narrow passages like Turkey Track and Medicine Canyon guide seasonal water toward Coyote Cr and the broad opening of Fig Tree Valley. This 2012 survey captures the transition from high-desert ridgelines to the riparian environments surrounding Tule Spring and Mangalar Spring. The naming of features like Parks Canyon and Alder Canyon provides specific geographical reference points for those tracing historical land use or backcountry access routes during this period of southern California's interior development.
