Federal Migrant Camp

Cajon Blvd at Swarthout Rd

East < GO > West

If you turn onto Swarthout Road you quickly come to a sharp left, at that point there is a row of boulders in a gravel area on your right. Those boulders block what was entrance to the site of an old Federal Migrant Camp built in the 1930s to provide a camp for dust bowl migrants.

I've seen references to an unofficial migrant camp in the Blue Cut area but I'm not sure if this was that spot or another spot nearby.

The small community of Cozy Dell was immediately north of this site.
