1955 Map of Ramona

About this map

Ramona serves as the focal point of this San Diego County landscape, situated at the junction of the Santa Maria Valley and the surrounding foothill terrain. The community’s growth is evident through the presence of Ramona High School and the network of roads branching out from Julian Road. To the north, the waters of Sutherland Lake are contained by a dam at Spillway 2058, while the Aqueduct underscores the critical infrastructure of the region. The map highlights a diverse mix of land uses, from the agricultural reaches of Bassett Ranch to the managed wilderness of the Cleveland National Forest. Topographical landmarks like Whale Mtn and Mt Gower rise above the valleys, while the Santa Ysabel Indian Reservation occupies the northeastern corner, illustrating the complex jurisdictional boundaries of the Santa Maria basin.
