Description

Promotional booklet authored by L. G. Sinnard describing the planned development of Rancho Santa Fe, California, emphasizing the transformation of Rancho San Dieguito into a high-class residential, agricultural, and resort community. The text frames the project as a union of historical legacy and modern planning, outlining land subdivision strategy, irrigation infrastructure centered on Lake Hodges Dam, horticultural and agricultural potential, architectural controls, and transportation access via the Santa Fe Railway. Illustrated with photographs and drawings depicting landscapes, orchards, civic buildings, La Morada, service stations, and surrounding communities including Del Mar, Escondido, and the City of San Diego, the booklet functions as both historical narrative and real estate promotional material intended to attract settlers and investors.
