About this map

San Pasqual Battlefield State Historical Monument anchor the western edge of this 1954 survey, marking the site of a pivotal clash in the Mexican-American War. The landscape is defined by the San Pasqual Valley, where Santa Ysabel Creek cuts through steep coastal mountains. Small-scale settlement and ranching are evident at Fenton Ranch and the small cluster of buildings at San Pasqual, which is served by the San Pasqual Union Sch and includes an Indian Cem.

The southern portion of the map reveals a transition into the Valle De Pamo, showing early residential expansion around Rosemont. The rugged eastern terrain is preserved within the Cleveland National Forest, characterized by steep ridges like Orosco Ridge and the prominent Woodson Mtn. This document serves as a record of San Diego County's interior before significant suburban development, highlighting a network of mountain canyons like Boden Canyon and Schoolhouse Canyon.
