KUMEYAAY MAP

The above Mike Connolly historical "Kumeyaay Lands 1769-2000" map picture details the 2005 Indigenous California Indian tribes of the greater Southern California area and northern Baja California, Mexico, the Native American Indian reservations, and contrasts them with the Indigenous Kumeyaay territory of 1769 (gray area) that tribal historians believe the Kumeyaay controlled at the time of colonial invasion.

The above area is part of a 24- by 36-inch historical poster map which details the ancestral Kumeyaay territory and the Treaty of Santa Ysabel, 1852.

The Treaty of Santa Ysabel marked the entry of the northern portion of the Kumeyaay Diegueno Nation into the United States. Clan leaders from as far as Jacumba and San Diego met at Santa Ysabel to sign the treaty with the United States Indian agent, O.M. Wozencraft.

Although not ratified by the U.S. Senate, the agreements of the treaty served as the basis for future settlements in land claims and other disputes. The United States recognition of the Kumeyaay people as a nation within a nation is carried forward today under the concept of Tribal Sovereignty.

• The maximum extent of Spanish control 1822
• The Kumeyaay attacks on the Spanish to regain their lands 1836-1842

MAPS of KUMEYAAY HISTORY 1769-2026 highlight Kumeyaay points of history, the arrival of the Spanish, the Spanish expansion into Kumeyaay Indigenous territory, the Kumeyaay wars with the Spanish and Mexican invaders to regain their Indigenous tribal lands and stop abusive aggression, the Treaty of Santa Ysabel 1852, the California Genocide and California Mission periods, including the current Kumeyaay bands of Native American Indians in Southern California and northern Mexico.

GROUND ZERO for the California Tribes:

Historic present-day area of Kosa'aay, an ancient Kumeyaay village, now known as Old Town San Diego. This 3D satellite view pins the original spot on the map where Colonial Spanish priests, conquistadors, explorers and settlers entered California in the 1760s and established their original foothold on West Coast tribal lands. Perhaps this map highlights the most significant historical area for the change it ushered in.... Map: Google Earth 2026.
