The Santa Ana River flows through a landscape defined by rapid urbanization and the meeting of several major Orange County cities. This 2018 survey documents the dense street grids of Anaheim, Orange, and Garden Grove, while preserving the location of institutional anchors such as Santa Ana College and the Fullerton Municipal Airport. The map highlights a complex hydrographic system designed for water management, including the Raymond Retarding Basin and the West Street Basin, which channel runoff through the developed corridor. Genealogists can locate several historic burial grounds, from the Anaheim Cem to the Magnolia Memorial Park and Gardens in the southwest. The presence of smaller districts like West Anaheim and South Anaheim illustrates the evolution of these neighborhoods within the larger metropolitan sprawl.
