2012 Map of Live Oak Springs

About this map

Tecate Divide crests this high-elevation landscape in eastern San Diego County, marking a significant topographical transition between the Pacific and desert watersheds. The settlement of Boulevard and the surrounding community of Live Oak Springs are situated along the historic corridor of Old Highway 80, which remains a primary artery for the region alongside modern routes. Local heritage is centered around established landmarks such as the Saint Carmel Cem near Hill Valley, and the rural outposts of Manzanita and Calexico Lodge. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks, including Goat Mountain, Old George Mountain, and Music Mountain, which tower over drainages like Walker Cr and Boundary Cr. These features, along with the notable presence of Lark Canyon and Tule Lake, define a landscape shaped by both the high-desert environment and the transportation networks that connect these remote mountain communities.
