1968 Map of Rancho Santa Fe

About this map

Rancho Santa Fe and the surrounding coastal hills of San Diego County are captured here during a period of transition, showing the established rural layouts of the late 1960s with purple-ink updates reflecting expansion through the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Escondido Creek and the San Dieguito River, which feed into landmarks like the San Dieguito Reservoir and Lake Hodges. Local heritage is anchored by the Olivenhain Cemetery and the settlement at Osuña, while the northern portion of the map features prominent elevations such as Mt Whitney, Double Peak, and Cerro de las Posas. The road network, including the historic El Camino Del Norte and Via De La Valle, illustrates the connectivity between older agricultural areas like Harmony Grove and the burgeoning suburban development near Vallecitos and Olivenhain.
