About this map

Laguna Mountain Recreation Area and the high-elevation meadows of the Cleveland National Forest characterize this San Diego County landscape. This 1960 survey, updated in 1988, documents the established ranching culture of the region, featuring prominent family holdings such as Laguna Ranch, Crouch Ranch, Morris Ranch, and Flinn Ranch. The high country is punctuated by Mt Laguna and the Mt Laguna USAF Sta, while the Pacific Crest Scenic Trail winds through the eastern ridges.

To the south and east, the map details the boundaries of the Cuyapaipe Indian Reservation and La Posta Indian Reservation. Water sources like Agua Dulce Creek and Buckman Springs are critical landmarks in this terrain. The mapping also captures recreation infrastructure including the Burnt Rancheria Campground and the winding Sunrise Highway, providing a clear view of the mountain's mid-century development and land use patterns.
