About this map

The Pacific coastline of San Diego dominates this 2018 survey, documenting the narrow land-water interface where the city meets the Pacific Ocean. This coastal strip features the established neighborhoods of Ocean Beach and Azure Vista, where the residential street grid terminates abruptly at the sandstone bluffs. The map identifies specific shoreline landmarks critical for local navigation and coastal history, such as Alligator Rock, Pappys Point, and New Hope Rock.

Institutional and recreational land use is prominently represented by the Point Loma Nazarene Univ campus and the dedicated parklands of Sunset Cliffs. The mapping detail extends to small coastal features like Claibornes Cove and ABs Reef, providing a clear record of the geological and anthropogenic edges of the Point Loma peninsula. This edition reflects the modern suburban and academic character of the area just before the turn of the decade.
