About this map

Mason Valley and Vallecito Valley define the northern desert reaches of this survey, where the historic Old Overland Stage Route crosses the arid landscape near the Vallecito Stage Station County Park. The terrain rises sharply into the Cleveland National Forest and the high country surrounding Mount Laguna, which serves as a center for both recreation and military observation at the Mt Laguna USAF Sta.

Evidence of early ranching and tribal lands is prevalent throughout the region, from the Campbell Ranch in the north to the La Posta Indian Res and Manzanita Indian Reservation in the south. Local landmarks like Big Laguna Lake, the Mt Laguna Sch, and the La Posta Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of these San Diego County highlands during the mid-twentieth century.
