2022 Map of San Clemente

About this map

The coastal interface of southern Orange County and northern San Diego County is captured here, centered on the suburban expansion of San Clemente. This modern survey illustrates the complex transition from dense coastal development to the deep, undeveloped drainage systems of the Santa Ana Mountains. Significant geological and coastal features include San Mateo Point and the surf-breaks of Trestles Beach, while the interior is defined by a series of dramatic canyons. Cristianitos Canyon, Talega Canyon, and San Mateo Canyon cut through the landscape, directing drainage toward the Pacific Ocean via San Mateo Cr.
