1953 Map of Elsinore

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Lake Elsinore (Laguna) dominates the southwestern landscape of this 1953 survey, which documents the region's transition from a mineral and ranching hub toward a burgeoning lakeside community. The local economy is represented by the Good Hope Mine to the north and various Clay Pits near the settlement of Terra Cotta, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad tracks provide the primary industrial lifeline through Warm Springs Valley. In the community center of Elsinore, key civic features such as City Hall and the High Sch appear alongside developed streets like Riverside Drive. Outside the main town, residential and agricultural patterns are visible at Lakeland Village and Hammock Ranch, framed by the southern edge of the Cleveland National Forest and the peaks of the Elsinore Mountains. This document is especially valuable for tracing mid-century property lines and early transportation infrastructure like the local Landing Strip.
