About this map

Campo Indian Reservation, Manzanita Indian Reservation, and La Posta Indian Reservation dominate the landscape of southeastern San Diego County in this mid-century record. The geography is defined by the Tecate Divide, which separates the drainages of Campo Creek and Walker Creek. Small hubs of settlement are clustered along the highway corridors, including Live Oak Springs, Manzanita, and Boulevard, the latter of which features a Post Office.

Evidence of local social and infrastructure history is found in landmarks like Clover Flat Sch, Calexico Lodge, and the St Carmel Cemetery. To the south, the tracks of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern railroad curve through the high country, while to the north, the McCain Valley opens up between the In-Ko-Pah Mountains and the divide. This survey, updated with revisions from the 1970s, captures the high desert landscape before modern developments altered the character of these mountain passes.
