About this map

The Corona city grid meets the steep northern slopes of the Santa Ana Mountains in this late 1990s revision. This area highlights a transitional landscape where suburban development from Home Gardens and El Cerrito presses against the protected wildlands of the Cleveland National Forest. Evidence of the region’s earlier transit history is preserved at the Butterfield Stage Sta Historical Marker near Temescal Wash, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR continues to follow the established lowland corridors.

The map reveals the intricate drainage system of the mountains, with numerous canyons such as Tin Mine Canyon, Hagador Canyon, and Mabey Canyon carving the terrain. These features, along with prominent summits like Pleasants Peak and Bedford Peak, create a sharp contrast with the residential and civic infrastructure of central Corona, including the Sunnyslope Cemetery and Corona Regional Medical Center.
