About this map

The San Pasqual Battlefield State Historical Monument anchors the historic San Pasqual Valley, marking the site of a pivotal 1846 clash during the Mexican-American War. This 1954 survey, updated with 1985 revisions, illustrates the rural character of northern San Diego County before significant suburban expansion. The valley floor is defined by the course of Santa Ysabel Creek and the settlement of San Pasqual, which includes the San Pasqual Union Sch and an Indian Cem.

To the west, the San Diego Wild Animal Park occupies the foothills, while the eastern landscape rises toward the Cleveland National Forest and Orosco Ridge. The map details the transition between agricultural land and high peaks like Woodson Mtn and Starvation Mtn. In the south, the growing community of Ramona is shown with its grid of streets near the Ramona Airport and the seasonal flows of Maria Creek across the Valle de Pamo.
