Jacumba Hot Springs sits at the very edge of the international border in the high desert of San Diego County. This 2018 survey captures the interface between the United States of America and Mexico, where the landscape is defined by the steep elevation of Jacumba Peak and the relatively flat expanse of Jacumba Valley. The settlement's infrastructure is tightly clustered near the boundary, supported by the Jacumba Airport and local routes such as Snow Hill Rd and Carrizo Creek Rd. Hydrology in this arid region is dominated by Boundary Cr, which drains toward the international line. The map illustrates the stark contrast between the developed town site and the vast, open terrain to the south and east, providing a clear look at the borderland geography of the early 21st century.
