1966 Map of Devore

About this map

Lytle Creek and the Cajon Wash converge in this mid-century survey of the San Bernardino foothills, showing a landscape defined by the transition from the San Bernardino National Forest to expanding suburban and industrial development. The area around Devore and Devore Heights reflects the growing influence of transportation, with the Barstow Freeway and the Santa Fe RR cutting through the canyon pass. The southern portion of the map reveals a shift toward civic and aviation utility, featuring the Gilfillan Airport and the Rialto Municipal Airport (Miro Field). Notable local landmarks include the Verdemont Ranch and the Glen Helen Rehabilitation Facility, alongside recreational spaces like Glen Helen Regional Park. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the Fish Hatchery near the mouth of the canyon underscores the region's diverse land use as it moved into the late 1960s.
