2012 Map of Rabbit Peak

About this map

The Santa Rosa Mountains dominate this landscape in eastern San Diego County, where extreme elevation changes define the terrain. High points like Rabbit Peak and Villager Peak tower over the surrounding desert environment, separated by deep drainages such as Sheep Canyon and Barton Canyon. While the majority of the area remains undeveloped mountain wilderness, the northeast corner reveals the encroaching agricultural and residential grid of the Coachella Valley outskirts. This transition is marked by a sudden network of named thoroughfares including Fillmore St, Tyler St, and Polk St. The contrast between the rigid, surveyed lines of 76th Ave and the chaotic natural contours of the peaks illustrates the sharp boundary between desert cultivation and the protected mountain reaches of the Anza-Borrego region.
