The San Luis Rey Mission stands as a focal point in the northern hills of this coastal landscape, situated just east of the growing rail hub at Oceanside. Topography by J.B. Lippincott reveals a shoreline defined by series of tidal inlets and lagoons, including Bati Quitos Lagoon and San Elijo Lagoon, which had not yet been significantly altered by modern development. The Southern California Railroad dictates the pattern of settlement, threading south through Carlsbad and Encinitas along the bluffs of the Pacific Ocean.
