1903 Map of Elcajon

About this map

San Diego Cuyamaca and Eastern Railroad tracks define the western corridor of this early 20th-century landscape, terminating near the settlement of Foster. The era's massive water infrastructure projects are prominent, notably the serpentine path of the San Diego Flume as it carries water across the rugged backcountry toward the coast. This wooden conduit navigates the terrain through a series of engineered passages, including the Cape Horn Tunnel, Monte Tunnel, and Lankesheim Tunnel.
