About this map

Warner Springs and the historic San Jose del Valle grant area center this 1959 survey, updated with revisions from 1980. The landscape is defined by the convergence of mountain and valley, where the San Luis Rey River and Agua Caliente Creek flow toward the expanse of Lake Henshaw. Grounded in the cattle ranching and resort history of the region, the map shows the renowned Warner Hot Spring and the nearby Warner Union School.

Evidence of mid-century infrastructure and land management is visible through the Puerta La Cruz Conservation Camp and the Warner Springs Landing Field. For those tracing local heritage, the inclusion of a Cem near the springs and landmarks like Deadman Hole and Holcomb Village provide specific points of interest. The northern reaches within the Cleveland National Forest are marked by rugged points like Sunshine Summit and the emerging path of the Pacific Crest Scenic Trail.
