About this map

The community of Alpine serves as the focal point of this 2018 survey, situated where the high desert meets the interior coastal ranges of San Diego County. The map details a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Sycuan Peak and McGinty Mtn to the deep cut of the N Fork Sweetwater River. Local heritage is anchored by several historic burial sites, including the Mount Pisgah Pioneer Cem and Flinn Springs Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in the area.

Water management and conservation are central to the region's character, evidenced by the Loveland Reservoir and the extensive boundaries of the Cleveland National Forest and the San Diego NWR. Residential patterns vary from the established town center of Alpine to smaller valley settlements like Harbison Canyon and Dehesa Valley, showing the modern footprint of these communities amidst protected natural terrain.
