2012 Map of Point Loma OE W

About this map

Sunset Cliffs and the rugged coastline of San Diego define this coastal survey, where the Pacific surf meets a landscape of prominent landmarks and educational institutions. The map highlights the western edge of the Point Loma peninsula, featuring the campuses of Point Loma Nazarene University and California Western University overlooking the water. This maritime environment is punctuated by geological features such as Alligator Rock, Osprey Point, and New Hope Rock, which suggest the navigational complexity of these waters. Residential and recreational development is concentrated along the shore, with Ocean Beach City Beach and the long Ocean Beach Fishing Pier serving as focal points for the community. Neighborhoods like Riviera Villas and Azure Vista sit atop the bluffs, illustrating the high-density coastal land use common in southern California during the early 21st century.
