1960 Map of Viejas Mountain

About this map

Viejas Indian Reservation and the Capitan Grande Indian Reservation occupy the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, where the Viejas Valley transitions into the steep slopes of Viejas Mountain and Roser Mountain. The settlement of The Willows serves as a local hub along the highway, while more remote holdings like Lyster Ranch and Carreacre Ranch are scattered across the southern canyon lands. This era depicts a landscape defined by water management and forest service activity, evidenced by the Loveland Reservoir on the Sweetwater River and the presence of the Alpine Guard Sta.
