1960 Map of Tecate

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Barrett Junction and the small settlement of Potrero anchor this 1960 topographic study of the international border region in southern San Diego County. The landscape is defined by the steep rises of Tecate Peak, Little Tecate Peak, and Potrero Peak, while water infrastructure like the San Diego City Conduit snakes through the drainage of Cottonwood Creek. The map documents the vital transportation corridors connecting the inland valleys to the border, featuring the Old Stage Route and Tecate Road. At the southern edge, the high-altitude border crossing at Tecate is clearly marked, including the local Customhouse and the dividing line between the United States and Mexico. This survey provides a precise look at rural San Diego County during a period of steady development, highlighting local landmarks such as Barrett Sch and the high pass at Dulzura Summit.
