2021 Map of Santa Ysabel

About this map

Wynola and Pine Hills anchor this high-country landscape in San Diego County, where the Cleveland National Forest covers much of the central and southern terrain. The area is defined by its varied topography, featuring broad expanses like Ballena Valley and Spencer Valley, alongside the prominence of Volcan Mountains and Witch Creek Mtn. Numerous watercourses, including the San Diego River and Santa Ysabel Cr, carve through deep canyons such as Penin Canyon and Iron Springs Canyon. Genealogists and local researchers will find the Inaja Indian Reservation Cem near the southern boundary, while hikers can trace the Coast To Crest Trail Connector Trl through the hills. The map also records numerous seasonal flats and family-named landmarks like Bunton Flat, McGee Flat, and Kessler Flat, indicating a history of cattle grazing or early homesteading in these mountain meadows.
