section is ``Temecula Valley.''

[[Page 127]]

    (b) Approved map.The approved maps for determining the boundary of 
the Temecula Valley viticultural area are seven USGS quadrangle maps in 
the 7.5 minute series, as follows:
    (1) Wildomar, California, dated 1953, photorevised 1973;
    (2) Fallbrook, California, dated 1968;
    (3) Murrieta, California, dated 1953, photorevised 1979;
    (4) Temecula, California, dated 1968, photorevised 1975;
    (5) Pechanga, California, dated 1968;
    (6) Sage, California, dated 1954;
    (7) Bachelor Mountain, California, dated 1953, photorevised 1973.
    (c) Boundary. The Temecula Valley viticultural area is located in 
Riverside County, California. The boundary is as follows:
    (1) The beginning point is the northernmost point of the Santa Rosa 
Land Grant where the Santa Rosa Land Grant boundary intersects the 
easternmost point of the Cleveland National Forest boundary.
    (2) The boundary follows the Cleveland National Forest boundary 
southwesterly to the point where it converges with the Riverside County-
San Diego County line.
    (3) The boundary follows the Riverside County-San Diego County line 
southwesterly, then southeasterly to the point where the Riverside 
County-San Diego County line diverges southward and the Santa Rosa Land 
Grant boundary continues southeasterly.
    (4) The boundary follows the Santa Rosa Land Grant boundary 
southeasterly, then northeasterly, to its intersection with the Temecula 
Land Grant boundary.
    (5) The boundary follows the Temecula Land Grant boundary 
southeasterly, then northeasterly, to its intersection with the Little 
Temecula Land Grant boundary.
    (6) The boundary follows the Little Temecula Land Grant boundary 
southeasterly to its intersection with the boundary of that portion of 
the Pechanga Indian Reservation which, until 1907, was Lot ``E'' of the 
Little Temecula Land Grant.
    (7) The boundary follows the Pechanga Indian Reservation boundary 
southeasterly, then northeasterly (including that portion of the 
Penchanga Indian Reservation in the approved viticultural area) to the 
point at which it rejoins the Little Temecula Land Grant boundary.
    (8) The boundary follows the Little Temecula Land Grant boundary 
northeasterly to its intersection with the Pauba Land Grant boundary.
    (9) The boundary follows the Pauba Land Grant boundary 
southeasterly, then northeasterly, to the north-south section line 
dividing Section 23 from Section 24 in Township 8 South, Range 2 West.
    (10) The boundary follows this section line south to the 1500-foot 
contour line.
    (11) The boundary follows the 1500-foot contour line easterly to the 
range line dividing Range 2 West from Range 1 West.
    (12) The boundary follows this range line north, across California 
State Highway 71/79, to the 1400-foot contour line of Oak Mountain.
    (13) The boundary follows the 1400-foot contour line around Oak 
Mountain to its intersection with the 117[deg]00[min] West longitude 
meridian.
    (14) The boundary follows the 117[deg]00[min] West longitude 
meridian north to its intersection with the Pauba Land Grant boundary.
    (15) The boundary follows the Pauba Land Grant boundary 
northwesterly, then west, then south, then west, to Warren Road (which 
coincides with the range line dividing Range 1 West from Range 2 West).
    (16) The boundary follows Warren Road north to an unnamed east-west, 
light-duty, hard or improved surface road (which coincides with the 
section line dividing Section 12 from Section 13 in Township 7 South, 
Range 2 West).
    (17) The boundary follows this road west to the north-south section 
line dividing Section 13 from Section 14 in Township 7 South, Range 2 
West.
    (18) The boundary follows this section line south to its 
intersection with Buck Road (which coincides with the east-west section 
line on the southern edge of Section 14 in Township 7 South, Range 2 
West).
    (19) The boundary follows Buck Road west to the point where it 
diverges northwesterly from the section line on

the southern edge of Section 14 in Township 7 South, Range 2 West.
    (20) The boundary follows this section line west, along the southern 
edges of Sections 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 in Township 7 South, Range 2 
West, to Tucalota Creek.
    (21) The boundary follows Tucalota Creek southerly to Santa 
Gertrudis Creek.
    (22) The boundary follows Santa Gertrudis Creek southwesterly to 
Murrieta Creek.
    (23) The boundary proceeds northwesterly along the westernmost 
branches of Murrieta Creek to its intersection with Hayes Avenue, 
northwest of Murrieta, California.
    (24) The boundary follows Hayes Avenue northwesterly, approximately 
4,000 feet, to its terminus at an unnamed, unimproved, fair or dry 
weather road.
    (25) The boundary follows this road southwesterly to Murrieta Creek.
    (26) The boundary proceeds northwesterly along the westernmost 
branches of Murrieta Creek to its intersection with Orange Street in 
Wildomar, California.
    (27) From the intersection of Murrieta Creek and Orange Street in 
Wildomar, California, the boundary proceeds in a straight line to the 
beginning point.
    (d) From November 23, 1984, until June 17, 2004, the name of this 
viticultural area was ``Temecula''. Effective June 18, 2004, this
