1942 Map of Cuyapaipe

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Cuyapaipe Indian Reservation and the Manzanita Indian Reservation dominate this high-altitude landscape in San Diego County, where the transition from the Laguna Mountains to the desert floor is marked by steep canyons and historical travel corridors. The map records the path of the Overland Stage Route and Butterfield Stage Route through Vallecito Creek, tracing a legacy of early California transit. Deep within the Cleveland National Forest, recreation and residence are evidenced by several clusters including Laguna Camp, Shriners Lodge, and the distinctively named Coca Cola Lodge. The presence of the Sundown Tungsten Mine and numerous family ranches like Thing Ranch and Flinn Ranch highlights a mid-century economy of small-scale extraction and remote homesteading. At Aqua Caliente Hot Springs, the landscape begins its descent into the arid reaches of the Vallecito Mtns.
