About this map

Old Town San Diego and the urban corridors of San Diego define this coastal landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map centers on the intricate geography of Mission Bay, showcasing numerous landmarks like Fiesta Island, Crown Point, and the developed shoreline of Pacific Beach. To the north, the massive footprint of Miramar Marine Corps Air Station sits adjacent to the residential expansion of University City and North Clairemont.

Educational and recreational hubs are prominent throughout the quadrangle, including the University of San Diego and San Diego University High School. The natural drainage of Tecolote Creek and Rose Creek flows toward the bay, while the San Diego River cuts through the southern portion of the sheet near Mission Hills. This edition provides a detailed look at the modern transportation network, where I-5, I-8, and I-805 intersect to facilitate the region's dense development.
