About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific railroads converge in this mid-century industrial hub, anchoring the economy of Colton and Rialto. The landscape is dominated by heavy infrastructure, including an extensive Icing Plant, Car Shops, and a prominent Cement Plant at the base of Slover Mtn. This period shows the transition of the San Bernardino Valley from an agricultural powerhouse to a major regional logistics center, even as the National Orange Show grounds remain a centerpiece of local identity.
