About this map

Ferrara Winery and Bernardo Winery anchor a landscape defined by viticulture and rapid suburban development in this 2012 survey of northern San Diego County. The topographic data captures the complex interface between established agricultural traditions and expanding residential communities like Rancho Bernardo and Four S Ranch. The rugged relief of Battle Mountain and Bernardo Mountain provides a dramatic backdrop to the San Dieguito River valley and the expansive waters of Lake Hodges to the west.

Modern infrastructure, including the heavily traveled I-15 and Ca-78 corridors, slices through the terrain, connecting the urban center of Escondido with outlying areas such as Green Valley and San Pasqual Valley. This record is particularly valuable for documenting the spatial distribution of the region's prominent wineries, including Thomas Jaeger Winery and Orfila Vineyards and Winery, during a period of significant growth and land-use transition.
