Some ghost towns feel like museums. Eastwood feels like an interruption — a place that stopped mid-sentence. Clinton Eastwood Jr. (born May 31, 1930) is a retired American actor and filmmaker.

San Diego County holds 7 documented ghost towns, including Branson City, Coleman City, Cuyamaca City — Eastwood keeps them company on the map.

The story of Eastwood

California wrote the book on ghost towns, from Gold Rush tent cities to Owens Valley farm towns the aqueduct dried up.

Clinton Eastwood Jr. (born May 31, 1930) is a retired American actor and filmmaker. After achieving success in the Western TV series Rawhide, Eastwood rose to international fame with his role as the "Man with No Name" in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy of spaghetti Westerns during the mid-1960s and as antihero cop Harry Callahan in the five Dirty Harry films throughout the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, among others, have made Eastwood an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. Elected in 1986, Eastwood served for two years as the mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
