About this map

National City and the southeastern neighborhoods of San Diego are shown in high detail during the mid-2010s, revealing a landscape defined by urban expansion and preserved drainage corridors. The map provides an essential reference for the numerous large memorial parks that occupy significant portions of this region, including the sprawling Mount Hope Cemetery, Greenwood Cemetery, and Holy Cross Cemetery. These sites, along with Glen Abbey Cemetery near the Sweetwater River, offer vital mapping for genealogical research and local history studies in San Diego County.

The topography transitions from the coastal interface at San Diego Bay and Gunpowder Point toward the inland elevations of Dictionary Hill. Water management remains a primary feature of the environment, seen in the path of Chollas Creek and the contained waters of the Sweetwater Reservoir. Residential patterns are clearly marked across diverse communities such as Paradise Hills, Encanto, and Lincoln Acres, showing the modern density of the South Bay area.
