Cultural Landscape Technical Report, San Diego County, California November 6, 2020 Greg Kazmer, Planning Manager County of San Diego Planning and Development Services 5510 Overland Avenue, Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92123 Subject: Memo—Proposed revisions to the Camp Lockett Master Plan and Overlay Zone Dear Mr. Kazmer: This memo prepared by ICF under contract to Project Design Consultants (PDC) documents the results of a cultural resources review of proposed changes to the Camp Lockett Master Plan and Overlay Zone. Project Description The County of San Diego initiated work on the development of a Master Plan/Overlay Zone for an approximately 400-acre area of Campo in eastern San Diego County known as Camp Lockett. Within the study area, approximately 194 acres are proposed for potential improvements that may require ground disturbance related to vegetation clearing, road and building construction, utilities, infrastructure, and building demolition. Improvements also include new construction of cultural, commercial, recreational, and residential facilities and updates to the property’s infrastructure, including parking and utilities. Background Information Cultural resources surveys were conducted by archaeologists, Native American monitors, and built environment specialists in 2018 and 2019. The surveys identified archaeological and built environment resources within the 194-acre area proposed for potential improvements and provided recommendations for the treatment of cultural resources within the study area. Cultural resources technical reports and CEQA documentation were submitted to the County in 2019 and 2020. In the time since the cultural resources work has been submitted, changes have been proposed within a portion of land utilized by Mountain Health and Community Services (MHCS). These Greg Kazmer November 5, 2020 Page 2 of 2 changes would remove the proposed Senior and Veterans Housing, Veteran Legacy Village, and the Duplex-Triplex Affordable Housing projects from the plan. Recommendations The proposed removal of the Senior and Veterans Housing, Veteran Legacy Village, and the Duplex-Triplex Affordable Housing projects from the plan would have no effect on the results, conclusions, or recommended mitigation measures related to historical or archaeological resources within the 194-acre project area; and requires no new cultural resources identification or analysis.

  • March JPA General Plan
    Draft Vision 2030: March JPA General Plan March 2010 Draft 1.0 Introduction 1.0 Introduction 1.1 History In discussing the future of the March Joint Powers Authority (March JPA) Planning Area, it is imperative to start by identifying the intricately-linked history of the United States military with the surrounding area in Riverside County. Prior to 1917, the area that would later be known as the March area was within the boundaries of the Alessandro Townsite and the Hendrick Ranch (Figure 1-1). At the turn of the 20th century the area was primarily used for livestock grazing, with agriculture occurring in nearby areas with ground water or imported surface water. March ARB prior to 1917 By 1918 a small air strip, Alessandro Flying Training Field, was established on a 640- acre site identified as part of the Hendrick Estate (Harley 1971: 147). This field was used by aviators from Rockwell Field on cross-country flights from San Diego. 1-1 1.0 Introduction In anticipation of entering into World War I, the United States rushed to strengthen its military forces. Congressional appropriations in early 1917 attempted to back the plans of General George O. Squier, the Army’s chief signal officer who was charged to build an army in the air. Efforts by Frank Miller, then owner of Riverside’s Mission Inn, Hiram Johnson and other California notables succeeded in gaining War Department approval to construct a military airfield at Alessandro Field. After military operations began in the area, the military presence waxed and waned in response to the defense needs of the nation.

  • "When Death Stalked the Mountains--The Tragic Hauser Canyon Brushfire" by Jim Hinds
    CLEVELAND NATIONAL FOREST HERITAGE PROGRAM "When death stalked the mountains--the tragic Hauser Canyon brushfire" by Jim Hinds This October 2nd marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most devastating fires ever to cross the Cleveland National Forest--the Hauser Canyon fire of 1943. From October 2 - 6 over 16,000 acres burned, much of it within the boundaries of the Descanso Ranger District. What made the fire even more devastating was the loss of nine soldiers and the wounding of over 75 others during the fighting of the fire--making it the fire with the largest number of casualties ever on the Cleveland. The following articles were written by Jim Hinds, the former archivist of the Mt. Empire Historical Society of Campo, California. Mr. Hinds, a military historian, is the foremost expert on the history of military activity within the Mountain Empire region of southeastern San Diego County. Jim was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the military museum at the Mt. Empire's Gaskill Brothers Stone Store museum in Campo. In his years as archivist he acquired many of the records of Camp Lockett, the last cavalry post built in the u.S. at Campo in 1941. Many of the sources Mr. Hinds mentions come from these records as well as the local newspaper coverage of the fire. You will note that most of the firefighters are Marines and U.S. Cavalry soldiers. This fire occurred in the midst of World War II and the San Diego mountains were the scene of much military activity at this time.

WORK Bachelor of Arts Chapman University Orange, California 199,5 Bachelor of Fine Arts Chapman University Orange, California 1995 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1998 THE FIGHTING TENTH CAVALRY: BLACK SOLDIERS IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY 1892-1918 Thesis Approved: 11 PREFACE On August 4, 1891, Colonel 1. K. Mizner, the commanding officer of the Tenth United States Cavalry Regiment, asked the Adjutant General of the army to transfer the Tenth Cavalry from Arizona "to a northern climate." For over twenty years, the Colonel complained, the Tenth had served in the Southwest, performing the most difficult field service of any regiment in the army and living in the worst forts in the country. No other cavalry regiment had "been subject to so great an amount of hard, fatigueing and continueing [sic]" service as the Tenth, service that entitled it "to as good stations as can be assigned. II Mizner challenged the Adjutant General to make his decision based on "just consideration" and not to discriminate against the Tenth "on account of the color of the enlisted men." t As one of fOUf regiments in the post-Civil War Army composed entirely of black enlisted men, discrimination was a problem the Tenth Cavalry constantly faced. Whether it was poor horses and equipment, inferior posts and assignments, or the hostility of the white communities the regiment protected, racial prejudice was an inescapable part of the regiment's daily life.

It is from this point in time that Fort MacArthur traces its military career. As a part of the US Air Force’s Los Angeles Air Force Base, the post continues in its purpose of public service to the citizens of the United States of America. The Fort MacArthur Museum is charged with preserving its military past. Towards that goal this history has been compiled to preserve the history of this important post. Much of this work was derived from materi- als prepared by Col. Gustafson for distribution to the Army personnel and visitors of Fort MacArthur in the late 1970s.
