2012 Map of Boucher Hill

About this map

The San Luis Rey River winds through this section of San Diego County, anchoring a landscape where agricultural ranching meets the steep slopes of the coastal range. Local history is centered around the settlements of Pauma Valley and Rincon, where the distribution of Saint Bartholomew Cem and the Pauma Valley Cem reflects long-standing community roots. The topography rises sharply toward Palomar Mountain, featuring landmarks like the Boucher Lookout and the Boucher Hill summit. The area’s geography is defined by numerous drainage systems, including Pauma Cr and Yuima Cr, which feed the valley floor from the surrounding heights. Recreational and ranching sites are scattered throughout the higher elevations, including the Doane Valley Campground and Webber Ranch, illustrating the transition from the fertile valley floor to the protected upland forests.
