About this map

The town of Ramona serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey, situated in the broad expanse of the Santa Maria Valley. The landscape is a transition between agricultural flats and the steep, rising peaks of the Cleveland National Forest, including the prominent Mt Gower and Whale Mtn. Transportation is anchored by the historical Julian Road and the Santa Ysabel Truck Trail, which cut through the drainage basins of Santa Ysabel Creek and Hatfield Creek.

Infrastructure development in the 1950s is evident in the presence of the Sutherland Reservoir and the Aqueduct systems, reflecting the region's critical focus on water management. For those interested in local landmarks, the map identifies the Ramona High School, the Goose Valley Ranger Sta, and the Bassett Ranch, along with small-scale industrial features like a Quarry and a local Cemetary. The southeastern corner transitions into the historical boundaries of CañAda De San Vicente Y Mesa Del Padre Barona.
