2012 Map of Viejas Mountain

About this map

Viejas Mountain dominates the northern skyline of this San Diego County landscape, overlooking a series of valleys and ridges defined by the Sweetwater River and its tributaries. The settlement pattern reflects a mix of traditional ranching and modern recreational use, with landmarks like Lyster Ranch and Carveacre Ranch situated near the more contemporary Mar-Tar-Awa Campground. To the south, Japatul Valley serves as a hub for local routes like Japatul Rd, while more secluded spots like Hidden Glen and Glen Lonely sit tucked into the canyons. Notable infrastructure includes the On the Rocks Airport near Kearchoffer Flat and the Viejas Honor Camp further east. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the concentrated corridor of The Willows and Viejas Valley into the more dispersed terrain of Bell Bluff and Horsethief Ridge.
