About this map

The San Gorgonio Pass serves as the central corridor for this 2015 study, dominated by the developed centers of Banning and Cabazon. This region marks a significant transition point where the San Jacinto Mountains rise to the south, countered by the steep terrain of the San Bernardino National Forest to the north. A critical piece of infrastructure, the Colorado River Aqueduct, snakes across the southern foothills, illustrating the engineering required to move water through this arid landscape.

Away from the urbanized Interstate 10 corridor, the map details a network of canyons and high flats such as Burro Flats and McMullen Flat. The settlement of Owl and landmarks like the Banning Municipal Airport are clearly delineated alongside the seasonal drainage paths of Potrero Cr and the San Gorgonio River, providing a clear view of how topography and water management dictate settlement patterns in Riverside County.
