About this map

The agricultural and ranching landscape of Riverside County unfolds across several prominent basins including French Valley, Auld Valley, and Pauba Valley. This mid-century landscape is defined by its water management infrastructure, most notably the Diego Aqueduct and Two Pipelines cutting north-to-south across the western terrain. Scattered landmarks like the Auld Ranch and various named windmills suggest a rural economy centered on livestock and dry farming before modern suburban expansion.
