About this map

San Pasqual Valley and the Santa Maria Valley dominate this mid-century landscape, centered on the historic site of the San Pasqual Battlefield State Historical Monument. The area shows a rural agricultural and ranching character typical of inland San Diego County during the 1950s, anchored by the settlement of Ramona and smaller outposts like San Pasqual. Significant markers of community life include the San Pasqual Union Sch and an Indian Cem, alongside the operations at Fenton Ranch.

The terrain is defined by the sharp transition between valley floors and peaks like Woodson Mtn and Starvation Mtn. Infrastructure of the era is evident in the Ramona Landing Field and the Ramona Guard Sta, while the eastern portion of the map encompasses the western reaches of the Cleveland National Forest. Water management is key to the region, traced through Santa Ysabel Creek and the drainage of Rockwood Canyon.
