2018 Map of Potrero

About this map

Potrero serves as the focal point of this San Diego County borderland survey, situated just north of the international boundary line. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation of Hauser Mtn and the sweeping Bell Valley, where local history is anchored by the Potrero Cem. Cultural and transit markers such as Harris Ranch Rd and Stage Coach Rd reflect the area’s ranching and stage line legacy, while the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern heights near Hacienda del Florasol. The southern edge of the quadrangle follows Border Rd, tracing the division between the United States and Mexico, with the community of Tecate positioned at the southwestern corner. This map illustrates the intersection of high-desert terrain and rural infrastructure, documenting the drainage of Potrero Cr and Campo Cr as they traverse this transitional geography.
