2015 Map of El Cajon

About this map

El Cajon serves as the central hub of this inland valley, where the urban sprawl of San Diego meets the complex terrain of eastern San Diego County. In the mid-2010s, this area shows a dense network of suburban development stretching from Santee and La Mesa into the foothills, punctuated by distinctive landmarks like Gillespie Field and the San Diego Christian College. The landscape is defined by the San Diego River corridor to the north and the Sweetwater River in the south, with residential enclaves such as Winter Gardens, Bostonia, and Granite Hills tucked between rising slopes.
