1942 Map of Corona

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Corona region during the 1940s is defined by a landscape transitioning from vast citrus groves and ranches to institutional and flood-control infrastructure. At the heart of the sheet lies the burgeoning street grid of the "Circle City," while to the north, the California Institution for Men and Los Serranos Country Club occupy large tracts near Chino Creek. The importance of water management in the Santa Ana River basin is evident in the presence of the Prado Dam and the expansive Prado Flood Control Basin, which reshaped the geography near the junctions of Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange counties.
