1956 Map of Cabazon

About this map

The Morongo Indian Reservation dominates this mid-century landscape, positioned where the high desert meets the San Bernardino Mountains. The settlement of Cabazon serves as a primary hub along the transit corridor, while the San Gorgonio River and various canyons like Millard Canyon define the drainage patterns of the region. A critical piece of infrastructure, the Colorado River Aqueduct, is shown traversing the southern portion of the map, including sections of tunnel through the mountainous terrain.
