2012 Map of San Vicente Reservoir

About this map

San Vicente Reservoir dominates the center of this 2012 survey, its multi-lobed shoreline defining the transition between the coastal foothills and the deeper inland canyons of San Diego County. To the north and west, the landscape is marked by a series of named ranch properties, including Warren Ranch, Wildwood Ranch, and Goodan Ranch, reflecting the area's pastoral history amidst increasingly subdivided residential clusters like Eucalyptus Hills. The geography is defined by steep relief, where summits such as Goat Peak and Iron Mountain tower over drainage systems like Poway Creek and the West Branch San Vicente Creek. Small communities such as Fernbrook, Shady Dell, and Boulder Oaks sit along these watercourses, illustrating the early 21st-century settlement patterns where rural homesteads and newer developments meet the protected water resources of the reservoir.
