1967 Map of Corona South

About this map

The northern foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains meet the urban expansion of Corona in this landscape, where the traditional agricultural and mining roots of Riverside County are increasingly overlaid by mid-century suburban development. Residential neighborhoods reach toward the peaks of Pleasants Peak and Bedford Peak, while the canyon-riddled slopes of the Cleveland National Forest maintain their wilderness character. Local transit and industry are anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Pacific Electric lines, which skirt the edge of the Sierra hills. Historical layers are visible in landmarks like the Butterfield Stage Sta Historical Marker and the Tin Mine tucked into the canyons west of Hagador Canyon. The map meticulously details the educational infrastructure of the era, from Corona High Sch to several neighborhood elementary schools like Jefferson Sch and Garretson Sch.
