This Army Map Service topographic sheet is a first-year 1954 print, published and printed that same year, and is in good condition with light handling and foldlines. Covering the border country about 30 miles east of San Diego, the quad area takes in Morena Village and the community of Tecate, along with portions of the Cleveland National Forest, the Pine Creek Wilderness, and the Hauser Wilderness. Drawn from a 1942 and 1943 aerial and field survey, it depicts rugged terrain along the California-Mexico line, and a hand-added colored pencil notation marks Tecate Peak Lookout within the map area.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Potrero 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1942 and 1943. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the AMS and original prints are becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are a valuable historical record for an area, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
