1955 Map of Otay Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The international boundary between California and Mexico defines the southern reach of this mid-century survey, where the Otay Mesa plateau meets the San Ysidro Mountains. At the heart of the mesa sits the Brown Field Naval Auxiliary Air Station, a significant Cold War-era military footprint flanked by a Bombing Range. This area reveals a landscape in transition, where legacy agricultural operations like Otay Ranch, Bird Ranch, and Kuebler Ranch persist alongside federal infrastructure and the Alta School.
