1960 Map of Santa Ysabel

About this map

Julian and the surrounding high country of the Volcan Mountains anchor this 1960 survey of San Diego County's backcountry. The map documents a landscape defined by historic transit and extraction, notably marking the Butterfield Stage Station at Warners Ranch and several active or historical workings like the Washington Mine and Banner Queen Mine. These features illustrate the area's transition from 19th-century gold mining and stagecoach routes to mid-century residential and recreational use, as seen in the development of Kentwood-in-the-Pines and Harrison Park.
