2018 Map of Fallbrook

About this map

MCB Camp Pendleton and the NWS Seal Beach Fallbrook California military installations dominate the southern half of this landscape, marking a sharp transition from the residential and agricultural canyon lands to the north. The area around De Luz is characterized by its complex network of winding mountain roads and mesa-top developments, including Redonda Mesa and Avenaloca Mesa. These high points overlook a rugged drainage system defined by De Luz Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which eventually flow toward the Santa Margarita River. Within the northwest corner, the protected terrain of the Cleveland National Forest preserves the canyons and peaks, such as Rocky Peak, near the Riverside and San Diego county line. This geography illustrates the mid-21st century balance between federal land use, military preservation, and the expansion of rural residential estates in the foothills.
