About this map

The international boundary between the United States and Mexico bisects this San Diego County landscape, where the rural community of Potrero sits at the junction of Potrero Valley Rd and Campo Rd. The topography is defined by the steep rises of Hauser Mtn and the unique formation known as El Nido del Zopilote. Local geography follows the drainage patterns of Potrero Cr and Campo Cr, which carve through the arid terrain of Bell Valley.

Modern recreation and rural residency are evident in features like Twin Lakes Resorts and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Smaller settlements such as Canyon City and the border area of Tecate reflect the region's historical role as a gateway between nations. Local transit and land use are mapped along narrow routes like Broken Bone Ln and Harris Ranch Rd.
