Geography
South San Diego is a part of the city of San Diego extending into far southwestern San Diego County. Land-wise, it is physically separated from the rest of the city of San Diego by the cities of National City and Chula Vista. But these two regions of San Diego are connected by a 400-foot (120 m)-wide city boundary line that runs through San Diego Bay, thus making it possible to travel (by water) between central San Diego and South San Diego without ever leaving the city limits.
South San Diego's boundaries are the city of Imperial Beach on the west, Chula Vista to the north, Otay Lakes to the east, and the U.S.-Mexico border with Tijuana on the south. Brown Field Municipal Airport is located in the Otay Mesa region of South San Diego.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;—and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
