2018 Map of Boucher Hill

About this map

Pauma Valley and the Rincon community are central to this 2018 survey of northern San Diego County, situated along the San Luis Rey River. The landscape is dominated by the steep western slopes of Palomar Mountain, much of which is protected within the Cleveland National Forest. This terrain includes distinctive landmarks like Boucher Hill and several high-altitude meadows such as Tin Can Flat and Sunday School Flats. The presence of the Saint Bartholomew Cem and Saint Francis Episcopal Church Memorial Garden provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in the valley. Meanwhile, the complex water management of the region is evidenced by the Escondido Canal, which winds through the foothills, and recreation-focused water bodies like Doane Pond and the Doane Valley Reservoir located at higher elevations. The infrastructure of the valley floor is further characterized by local aviation sites, including the Pauma Valley Air Park and Lyall Airport.
