1953 Map of Elsinore

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Lake Elsinore and the Laguna dominate this Riverside County landscape, where the San Jacinto River feeds into a wide basin before entering the Cleveland National Forest. The early 1950s infrastructure reflects a transition between ranching and burgeoning lakeside development, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad cutting through Warm Springs Valley and serving Durant Siding. Historic extractive industries are visible in the north at the Good Hope Mine and various clay pits near Terra Cotta, while the town center of Elsinore shows established civic life through its high school, City Hall, and the nearby Elsinore Valley Cemetery. Further south, the Railroad Canyon Reservoir and its spillway mark the controlled water system that defines this arid valley.
