Site Suitability for Potential Parks in the Laguna and Cuyamaca Mountains

A map marking the most suitable areas for a hypothetical new campground in San Diego County.

Created by calculating points via five categories: elevation, vegetation cover, slope, proximity to roads, and proximity from waterways (rivers). Sites with the highest scores were located at high elevations with low slope that were close to roads and far from waterways. These locations were also located in areas with forest cover, due to hot summer conditions in areas with no forest.
