2015 Map of Hot Springs Mountain

About this map

Cleveland National Forest and its high-elevation terrain dominate this mid-2010s study of San Diego County. The area is characterized by a network of isolated settlements and specialized outposts like Eagles Nest, San Ignacio, and Los Tules, connected by a complex web of named local routes including Los Coyotes Rd and Camino San Ignacio Rd. The topography rises steeply toward Hot Springs Mtn, where the landscape is carved by deep canyons such as Middle Fork Borrego Palm Canyon and Sheep Canyon. This period shows the enduring path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses the western ridges above Chihuahua Valley. Notable water sources like Blackwater Hole and Panawatt Springs indicate critical landmarks in this arid environment, while the presence of San Ysidro at the southern base of San Ysidro Mtn reflects the established habitation patterns of the San Luis Rey river drainage system.
