1955 Map of El Cajon Mtn
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Barona Indian Reservation and Capitan Grande Indian Reservation define much of this landscape, where the San Diego backcountry meets the rising elevation of the Cleveland National Forest. The 1955 data, with later revisions, documents a transition from cattle ranching to water resource management, centered on the massive El Capitan Reservoir and the El Capitan Dam. Family names are deeply etched into the geography through landmarks such as Featherstone Ranch, Mykrantz Ranch, and Grable Ranch, while the presence of the Daly Mine and Garnet Pit points to early mineral extraction in the canyons.
