About this map

Eagle Peak and Sunshine Mountain anchor the high terrain of this San Diego County quadrangle, where deep canyons and drainage basins define the rural landscape. In the northwest, the San Diego River receives the waters of Cedar Cr at the site of Cedar Creek Falls. The area is characterized by several established ranching properties and small settlements, including Rancho Alegria, Sherilton Valley Ranch, and the Echo Dell Ranch.

Transport and access are dictated by the winding path of Boulder Creek Rd and Tule Springs Rd, which connect the isolated valleys. Notable landmarks like the Devils Punchbowl and Poverty Gulch reflect a history of topographical exploration and local naming. To the south, the Conejos Valley and Echo Valley provide relatively level ground amidst a landscape dominated by peaks such as Mineral Hill and Lillian Hill.
