About this map

Tecate sits directly at the international boundary in this 2021 study of San Diego County's southern borderlands. The landscape is defined by high-elevation summits including Tecate Peak, Little Tecate Peak, and Potrero Peak, overlooking the broad expanse of Big Potrero. This map captures the intersection of critical infrastructure and rugged geography, notably featuring the San Diego City Conduit and the junction of major routes at Barrett Junction and Dulzura Summit.

Water management and transportation networks are visible alongside local place names like Coyote Holler and Bee Canyon. Small settlements and local landmarks such as the Po near the border reflect the unique community character of this trans-border region. The map details a web of local connectors including Barrett Smith Rd and Humphries Rd that serve the scattered homesteads and ranches of the high desert terrain.
