2018 Map of Jacumba

About this map

Jacumba and the neighboring settlement of Bankhead Springs anchor this corner of San Diego County, situated along the international border in a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and desert springs. The map documents a complex network of water sources vital to life in this arid region, including Arsenic Spring, Dos Cabezas Spring, and Iron Spring. The terrain is marked by prominent landforms such as the Jacumba Mountains and the dramatic Carrizo Gorge, while the inclusion of the Mortero Palms and Palm Grove highlights the unique botanical pockets found within the canyons. In the northern reaches, the map identifies Dos Cabezas and the expansive McCain Valley, illustrating the varied topography from flat lakebeds like Tule Lake to the high peaks of Mt Tule and Gray Mtn.
