About this map

Old Town San Diego and the surrounding coastal mesas are documented in this 2021 survey, highlighting the complex relationship between modern development and historic preservation. The map details the dense suburban corridors of Clairemont, University City, and Serra Mesa, contrasted with the open recreational waters of Mission Bay Channel. This area is notable for its concentration of academic and military institutions, ranging from the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station in the north to campus clusters like San Diego Mesa College.

Coastal geography is intricately mapped, showing the complex inlets of Sail Bay, Fiesta Bay, and Enchanted Cove. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies significant burial sites including Miramar National Cem and the older El Campo Santo Cem. The transport landscape is defined by the steep grades of Murray Canyon and the winding Tecolote Creek, alongside the major arterial flow of the San Diego River as it reaches the Pacific.
