About this map

Anza and the neighboring community of Cahuilla anchor this high-altitude landscape where the southern reaches of the San Jacinto Mountains meet the high desert plateaus. Much of the northeast is defined by the San Bernardino National Forest, dominated by Thomas Mtn and the sweeping Garner Valley. The map reveals a complex network of forest routes and local roads, such as Bautista Rd and Tripp Flats Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land through Bautista Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon.

The settlement pattern here reflects a mix of remote mountain outposts and valley communities, with distinctive landmarks like Cave Rocks and seasonal water sources such as Tool Box Spring and Magee Spring. From the hidden pockets of Durasno Valley to the broad Cahuilla Valley, the geography transitions between protected wilderness and rural residential tracts. Local history researchers can trace the old road alignments and property boundaries that characterize this part of Riverside County.
