About this map

The Muscupiabe Grant serves as a historical backdrop for this mid-1990s landscape, where the San Bernardino mountains meet the expanding industrial and residential grids of Southern California. The drainage of Lytle Creek and Cajon Creek dictates the geography, while the Barstow Freeway and heavy rail lines like the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe carve through the foothills. Notable local landmarks include the Gilfillan Airport and the Glen Helen Rehabilitation Facility, illustrating the diverse land use of the era.

Residential growth is evident in the transition from the gridded streets of Fontana and Rialto to the more dispersed settlements of Devore Heights and Nealeys Corner. Small-scale aviation and municipal infrastructure, such as the Filtration Plant and various Gravel Pits, highlight the working character of the terrain just outside the San Bernardino National Forest. Researchers can trace the evolution of old ranch sites like Verdemont Ranch as the suburban edge advanced northward.
