About this map

The San Diego River corridor defines the landscape of eastern San Diego County during this period of mid-century expansion, where agriculture and early suburbanization meet. Residential clusters like Winter Gardens and Bostonia appear alongside established institutions such as Edgemoor Hospital and the Convent of the Sacred Heart. The prominence of Gillespie Field, complete with its Control Tower and the nearby Cajon Speedway, highlights the region's post-war shift toward aviation and leisure infrastructure.

Detailed street layouts across El Cajon, Santee, and Lakeside show a maturing road network featuring Mission Gorge Rd and Broadway. Religious and educational sites are notably dense, ranging from the St Francis Seminary to local fixtures like Ballantyne Sch and the El Cajon Cem. Meanwhile, the eastern hills remain relatively open, punctuated by the Singing Hills Golf Course and the reservoirs of Lake Jennings and Mt Helix Res.
