About this map

Cajon Canyon serves as a critical transportation corridor on this 1966 survey, where the Southern Pacific, Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, and Union Pacific railroads converge alongside the Barstow Freeway. This intersection of major rail lines and modern highways at Devore illustrates the area's role as a gateway through the mountains. To the west, the landscape transitions into the steep terrain of the San Bernardino National Forest, marked by the Lower Lytle Creek Ridge and the Lytle Creek Ranger Station.

The southern portion of the map reveals the mid-century expansion of Rialto, featuring a grid of citrus groves and new residential developments near Gilfillan Airport and Rialto Municipal Airport (Miro Field). Notable local landmarks include the Glen Helen Rehabilitation Facility and the Verdemont Ranch, while smaller settlements like Scotland and Nealeys Corner represent the older rural character of the San Bernardino foothills before suburban growth accelerated.
