1967 Map of Corona North

About this map

Lake Norconian and the surrounding Naval Reservation anchor the central portion of this late-1960s landscape, bordering the established communities of Norco and Corona. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural heritage of the Santa Ana del Chino grant to mid-century industrial and institutional expansion. Notable facilities include the California Rehabilitation Center and the Corona Municipal Airport, while the Prado Flood Control Basin dominates the southwestern corner, reflecting regional water management efforts along the Santa Ana River. Educational and religious institutions are well-represented, from La Sierra College in the east to numerous local schools like Troth St Sch and St Edward Sch. Transportation networks are clearly defined, featuring the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the emerging Riverside Freeway, which facilitated the suburban growth of Home Gardens and Mira Loma.
