1997 Map of Descanso
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Cleveland National Forest and the Pine Creek Wilderness dominate this high-country landscape, where small mountain settlements are connected by the path of Old Highway 80. The community of Descanso serves as a focal point near the Sweetwater River, supported by the Descanso Fire Station and Work Center and nearby Hulburd Grove. The map records a transition from organized recreation at the Rine Creek Bible Conference Ground to the remote terrain of the Cuyamaca Mountains. Water management is evident through the Gaging Station on Descanso Creek and the presence of Corte Madera Lake to the south. Local transit and utilities are marked by landmarks such as Laguna Junction and a Communication Tower, while a small Cem remains near the heart of the Descanso settlement, anchoring the area's local history.
