1967 Map of Corona South

About this map

The city of Corona serves as the hub of this 1967 landscape, where the urban grid meets the rising slopes of the Santa Ana Mountains. To the south and west, the Cleveland National Forest dominates the terrain, featuring high points like Pleasants Peak and Bedford Peak. The map captures a transitional moment as urban expansion, marked in purple revision tint, pushes into the canyons. Transportation corridors define the lowland valley, with the Corona Freeway and rail lines including the Pacific Electric and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe threading through the Temescal Valley. Local history is anchored by sites such as Sunny Slope Cemetery and the Butterfield Stage Historical Marker near Temescal Wash, while the surrounding canyons like Tin Mine Canyon and Ladd Canyon suggest the area's earlier mining and ranching foundations.
