1956 Map of Cabazon

About this map

The Morongo Indian Reservation occupies a massive portion of this landscape, where the San Gorgonio Pass separates the rugged peaks of the San Jacinto Mountains to the south from the San Bernardino National Forest to the north. The mid-century development of Banning is visible in the west, complete with its Banning Airport and organized street grid including Nicolet St and Ramsey St. To the east, the settlement of Cabazon sits tucked against the base of the mountains, defined by its position along the Southern Pacific railroad line.
