About this map

San Pasqual Valley and the Santa Maria Valley dominate this mid-century landscape in San Diego County. The map details a period of transition, where traditional ranching and rural infrastructure, such as the Fenton Ranch and Ramona Guard Sta, exist alongside the developing footprint of the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Commemorative and educational sites are established near the Santa Ysabel Creek corridor, including the San Pasqual Battlefield State Historical Monument and the San Pasqual Union Sch.

Steep terrain defines the boundaries of these valleys, marked by peaks such as Starvation Mtn and Woodson Mtn. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Cleveland National Forest, where rugged canyons like Boden Canyon and Orosco Ridge provide a natural buffer to the expanding settlement at Ramona. Geographic data is meticulously recorded along the San Bernardino Meridian, which bisects the quadrangle.
