1956 Map of Cabazon

About this map

The San Gorgonio Pass serves as a critical transportation corridor in this mid-century survey, dominated by the path of the Southern Pacific railroad and the massive infrastructure of the Colorado River Aqueduct. The Morongo Indian Reservation encompasses much of the surrounding territory, with tribal lands extending into the northern canyons and southern slopes of the San Jacinto Mountains. Notable infrastructure from this era includes the Banning Airport, a Radio Fan Beacon, and the East Portal where water management systems pierce the mountain terrain.
