Google-maps – What does a pink area with dashed lines mean on Google Maps

google maps

What does a pink area with dashed lines mean on Google Maps? For example, Julian, CA.

  • Julian is not an incorporated city so there is no boundary for that.
  • The area highlighted is not the boundary for the Julian zip code, 92036.
  • It is also not the boundary for the main Julian phone exchange, (760)765-xxxx.
  • It is not a collection of sub-divisions as the southern edge divides parts of Imperial Dr. even though both sides of the line are in the same sub-division.
  • It is not the boundary for any fires in the last century.

Also, where is this documented?
