About this map

The San Pasqual Valley serves as a primary focal point in this mid-century survey, defined by the winding course of Santa Ysabel Creek and the historical weight of the San Pasqual Battlefield State Historical Monument. This area of San Diego County reflects a transition between agricultural lowlands and the steep rise of the Cleveland National Forest. Small-scale infrastructure for local education and community life is evident at the San Pasqual Union Sch and the Indian Cem.

Further south, the Santa Maria Valley opens up around the settlement of Ramona, where the Ramona Landing Field and various reservoirs suggest the importance of aviation and water management in this semi-arid landscape. Prominent peaks such as Woodson Mtn and Starvation Mtn anchor the terrain, while the San Bernardino Meridian provides a glimpse into the foundational surveying grid that organized these California townships.
