1953 Map of Bachelor Mtn

About this map

Skinner Reservoir dominates this landscape in Riverside County, reflecting a major hydrological change noted during the 1970s revisions of this earlier survey. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent landforms and valleys, including Bachelor Mtn, Buck Mesa, and the broad expanse of French Valley. In the early 1950s, the infrastructure of the San Diego Aqueduct and its associated Siphon were critical features for regional water management. Local education and community life are represented by the Alamos Sch and Hyatt Sch, while the economic activity of the era is marked by Quarries and established routes like Winchester Road. The drainage patterns of Tucalota Creek, Santa Gertrudis Creek, and Temecula Creek connect the diverse topographical features from Skunk Hollow to the Pauba Valley.
