1954 Map of Sitton Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Santa Ana Mountains peaks and deep drainage basins define this 1954 survey, which reveals a landscape of high-country ranching and early mountain recreation. Private holdings like Stewart Ranch and Wheeler Ranch are situated near expansive meadows known as potreros, including Verdugo Potrero and Belardes Potrero. The era's increasing accessibility is evident along the winding Ortega Highway, providing access to the Upper San Juan Campground and Lower San Juan Campground within the Cleveland National Forest. The map also captures the northern fringes of Camp Joseph H Pendleton, marking the intersection of federal forest land, military training grounds, and the historic Potrero El Cariso Land Grant. Significant water sources like Serrano Spr and Quail Spring dot the terrain near Sitton Peak, illustrating the critical reliance on springs in this arid high-altitude environment.
