About this map

Eden Hot Springs and the surrounding heights of Mt Eden anchor the southern portion of this landscape, where the terrain transitions toward the San Jacinto Valley. The area is defined by its dramatic relief, notably the deeply eroded gullies of The Badlands and the northern reach of the San Jacinto Mountains. These geological features shaped early settlement and transportation, forcing roads like San Timoteo Canyon Rd and the throughways at El Casco to follow the natural contours of San Timoteo Canyon.

In the northeast, the growth of Calimesa contrasts with the more dispersed rural points of Hinda and Nicklin. Genealogists and local historians can trace modern development alongside older landmarks, such as the Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens and the lakeside area of El Casco Lake. The map provides a detailed view of how the residential street networks in the north, including Cherry Valley Blvd, meet the rugged, open topography to the south.
