1960 Map of Cuyamaca Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Cuyamaca Reservoir serves as the central focal point of this high-altitude landscape, held in place by the Cuyamaca Dam near the Cuyamaca Lodge. This 1960 survey illustrates a region largely defined by public recreation and conservation, encompassing much of Cuyamaca Rancho State Park and the surrounding Cleveland National Forest. The map documents the varied recreational infrastructure of the era, from organized sites like Camp Wolahi and Camp Tapawingo to the California Riding and Hiking Trail. Historical industry leaves its mark at the Stonewall Mine near the lake, while the natural topography rises sharply toward Middle Peak and Cuyamaca Peak, the latter hosting a prominent lookout station. Traces of indigenous history are acknowledged at the Indian Exhibit along the Sweetwater River, positioned between Arrowmakers Ridge and the broad expanse of Green Valley.
