About this map

The Santa Margarita Mountains dominate this coastal range landscape, providing a complex terrain of deep canyons and high summits in northern San Diego County. Within the boundaries of the Cleveland National Forest, the map reveals a network of essential water sources including White Oak Springs, Case Spring, and Case Springs Lake. These features, along with the distinct plateau of Indian Potrero, illustrate the vital role of mountain hydrology in this arid region.

Strategic transportation routes like Basilone Rd and San Juan Rd navigate the steep topography between the North Fork San Onofre Canyon and South Fork San Onofre Canyon. The presence of Vallecitos and prominent landmarks like Margarita Peak and Horno Summit highlight the area's importance for both navigation and resource management within the bounds of the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton vicinity.
