1996 Map of Cabazon

About this map

Morongo Indian Reservation lands dominate the San Gorgonio Pass in this late-twentieth-century study of eastern Banning and the community of Cabazon. The landscape is defined by the critical infrastructure that funnels through this narrow desert corridor, including the Southern Pacific railroad and the massive Colorado River Aqueduct. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward the San Bernardino National Forest boundary, marked by landmarks like Barker Peak and Cabazon Peak. On the valley floor, the San Gorgonio River bed carves through the pass alongside the Banning Airport. The map documents residential growth in Banning along streets such as E Nicolet St and Ramsey St, while showing the more dispersed settlement patterns of Cabazon near Bonita Ave. Local industry and utility are represented by a Gravel Pit and a Sewage Disposal site, reflecting the region's mid-to-late century development.
