2012 Map of La Mesa
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
The San Diego River carves through this urban and canyon-riven landscape, providing a natural corridor between the high peaks of Fortuna Mountain and Cowles Mountain. To the south, the academic hub around San Diego State University in College Heights anchors a dense residential network that includes neighborhoods like Allied Gardens and Del Cerro. The area's critical infrastructure is evident in the path of the Second San Diego Aqueduct and the presence of the Murray Reservoir. In the northeast corner, the Santee Recreational Lakes offer a contrast to the industrial and logistical focus of the nearby Sycamore Sanitary Landfill. This 2012 survey illustrates the complex geography where steep-sided terrain like Murphy Canyon and Oak Canyon meets the expansive development of San Diego and La Mesa.
