1955 Map of El Cajon Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
El Capitan Reservoir dominates the eastern half of this mountainous landscape, held back by the El Capitan Dam on the San Diego River. The map highlights a complex intersection of land management, where the Cleveland National Forest meets the Barona Indian Reservation and Capitan Grande Indian Reservation. Local history is preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and ranch sites, including Featherstone Ranch, Grable Ranch, and Roole Ranch. Resource extraction is evident at the Daly Mine and Garnet Pit, while the terrain is traversed by an intricate network of specialized roads like the Mykrantz Truck Trail and El Capitan Truck Trail. The presence of several springs, such as Skunk Spring, underscores the critical importance of water sources in this high-relief environment between El Cajon Mtn and San Vicente Mtn.
