1967 Map of El Casco

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Badlands dominate the central landscape of this Riverside County region, providing a stark topographical contrast to the developing communities of Calimesa and Yucaipa along the northern edge. The Southern Pacific railroad tracks trace a critical corridor through the San Timoteo Canyon, passing by the namesake settlement of El Casco and its adjacent El Casco Lake. The presence of Eden Hot Springs at the foot of Mt Eden suggests the era's focus on local thermal resorts, while the Duck Ponds and various wells indicate the complex water management required for the San Jacinto Valley. In the southeast, the map records the transition from agricultural land to memorial use at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens, situated near the small railroad siding of Nicklin. This survey captures the area just as suburban expansion began to encroach upon the rugged geologic formations and traditional transit routes of the inland valley.
