Sedco Hills is the informal/local name for a southern section of the Temescal Mountains, located in southwestern Riverside County, California.
They were named after the town of Sedco Hills, located on their west side and now part of the city of Wildomar. The placename Sedco was introduced by the South Elsinore Development Company, that subdivided and sold the land on the southeast side of the lake.
