2021 Map of Jacumba

About this map

Jacumba and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of San Diego County, where the interstate cuts through the Jacumba Valley near the international border. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of canyons and peaks, notably the Jacumba Mountains and the dramatic Carrizo Gorge. Numerous water sources are documented throughout the arid terrain, including Bankhead Spring, Iron Spring, and the uniquely named Camp Sizzle Spring. Small settlements and named locales like Bankhead Springs and Dos Cabezas provide focal points for local history research. The presence of several desert oases such as Palm Grove and Mortero Palms suggests the historical importance of these specific locations for travelers and inhabitants in a region dominated by features like Table Mtn and Mt Tule.
