2018 Map of Beaumont

About this map

Beaumont and Banning serve as the primary hubs in this San Gorgonio Pass corridor, where the Union Pacific railroad and major highways navigate the narrow gap between the San Bernardino National Forest and the San Jacinto Mountains. The transition from urban street grids to the rising foothills is marked by the presence of Cherry Valley and Highland Springs, areas defined by their proximity to canyons like Cherry Canyon and Mias Canyon. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for Mountain View Cem and Stewart Sunnyslope Cem, while numerous seasonal drainages like Smith Cr and Potrero Cr carve through the Banning Bench. This geography highlights the importance of the pass as a transportation bottleneck, framed by prominent peaks including Mt Davis and Mt Edna.
