Cross Pollination

I’ve had trouble in the past with cantaloupe cross pollinating with cucumbers. Will this also be a problem with cantaloupe and squash? How far away should they be planted to keep this from happening? How about preventing-or at least minimizing cross pollination of green peppers with jalapeno? My backyard garden plot is 20 x 20.
