Or maybe an earthquake hit while drafting the map and the Draftsman said "I'm not erasing all that!"
Lazy man's way of drafting a switchback??ÿ
That must be an older plat, unless it's common practice to only monument centerlines and not report acreages on individual lots.
Is the clue in the name??ÿ Switzerland??ÿ Maybe it is affected by an inaccessible knob.?ÿ Can't sell it.?ÿ Stick it in the street.

It's in the San Bernardino mountains near Lake Arrowhead, north of San Bernardino, west of Palm Springs.
1946.

@dave-karoly Just Googled the location, looks like steep hills with heavy canopy, which always makes for a challenging survey!

That looks wild.
I wonder why they went through the trouble of developing curves on the southeast side of the sheet, but changed to a bunch of line segments on the northwest side.
GoogleEarth shows dwellings inside of the platted right-of-way at the switchback.
Cripes!?ÿ Looks like enough room for a 7-11. ?????ÿ

that??s because it is along the east boundary of a 1920s subdivision which had no curves, just jagged streets everywhere. The 1940s post War subdivisions have curved streets.

Done plenty of work in the area. As Dave says, the style of the plat is consistent with the year, pretty typical for subdivisions in the mountain areas around here. Roads often fall outside of the right of way, makes it fun when trying to locate monuments to start a survey.
Dave, do you have a project in the area.
If it helps, rotate your computer screen 90 degrees counter-clockwise.?ÿ Here's what it looks like today.?ÿ If you look closely, there is still a lot of area that is empty between the roadbed and the lots.
?ÿ
@dave-karoly Yes.?ÿ Looking more closely, that makes sense.?ÿ From the word "AROSA" west has reference to the lots from the earlier subdivision.?ÿ I quickly looked and saw what appears to be the same line type and went with all the lines being developed from the posted survey.

yes we have 3 quarter-quarter sections about a mile to the north and half a mile east. Sawmill State Forest, 120 acres.
SW/4 of SW/4 of S18, NW/4 of NW/4 of Section 19 (T2N, R3W, SBM), NE/4 of NE/4 of Section 24 in R4W (the only unmonumented corner is the NE1/16 of 24). The center of 24 is an established monument that??s been there a long time.
