1967 Map of Corona South

About this map

Corona and its surrounding citrus-belt landscape are documented during a period of significant suburban expansion in the late 1960s, with later updates showing the encroachment of residential development into the foothills. The city's organized grid is dense with educational institutions like Raney Jr High Sch and Eucalyptus Sch, while its northern edge is defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Cleveland National Forest, where deep drainages like Tin Mine Canyon and Hagador Canyon cut through the mountains toward Pleasants Peak. Industrial and transit history is evidenced by the Butterfield Stage Sta Historical Marker near the Temescal Wash and a abandoned glass factory in the Temescal Valley, illustrating the shift from early stagecoach routes and manufacturing to a modernizing commuter corridor.
