1960 Map of Viejas Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Viejas Indian Reservation and the southern edge of the Capitan Grande Indian Reservation anchor this 1960s study of the San Diego backcountry. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between high peaks like Viejas Mountain and the deep drainage of the Sweetwater River. Early ranching and utility infrastructure are evident through the Lyster Ranch, Carveacre Ranch, and the Descanso Substation near the northeastern corner. Settlement is concentrated along the Viejas Blvd corridor at The Willows, while the southern reaches remain relatively open, marked by topographic curiosities like Glen Lonely and Kearchoffer Flat. The map documents a period before modern development reached these interior valleys, preserving the locations of the Alpine Guard Sta and the Viejas Honor Camp during a time of transitional land use within the Cleveland National Forest.
