About this map

Old Town San Diego anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated just north of the San Diego River and the complex interchange networks of Mission Valley. The area is characterized by the densely populated mesas and canyons typical of the region, with Clairemont and University City serving as primary residential hubs. Along the coast, the expansive waters of Mission Bay are intricately detailed, featuring Fiesta Island, Vacation Isle, and various coves such as Ventura Cove and Bonita Cove.

Transport and education define the eastern and northern reaches, where Montgomery Field and the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station occupy the higher ground of Kearny Mesa. The map captures the significant academic presence in the area, including the University of San Diego and San Diego Mesa College. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Soledad Mtn, where the Easter Cross stands as a prominent landmark overlooking Pacific Beach and the At&Sf Rr corridor winding through Rose Canyon.
