About this map

Warners Ranch and the surrounding Valle de San Jose define this landscape on the edge of Lake Henshaw in the 1950s and 60s. The map captures a transition between the open cattle-grazing lands of the San Jose del Valle and the steep, wooded slopes of the Santa Ysabel Volcan Mountains. Researchers will find significant cultural markers of early California transit, most notably the Butterfield Stage Station along the San Felipe Valley Road.

Extensive portions of the Santa Ysabel Indian Reservation are documented here, including the high-elevation Santa Ysabel Peak and secluded areas like Juan Flat. The drainage patterns of Santa Ysabel Creek and Matagual Creek are intricately detailed, showing how water systems dictated settlement at Morettis Junction and the isolated Santa Ysabel Ranch. A network of jeep trails and historic grant boundaries, such as the Grant Boundary, traces the legacy of early land divisions and remote mountain access.
