1967 Map of Fontana

About this map

The Steel Plant dominates the industrial landscape of the late 1960s, reflecting the era's heavy manufacturing prowess in the San Bernardino Valley. This survey reveals a transition from agricultural roots to a dense suburban and industrial corridor, anchored by the growing cities of Fontana and Rialto. The topography shifts dramatically from the urban grid in the north to the Jurupa Mountains and Pedley Hills in the south, where extractive industries like the Crestmore Quarry and Jensen Quarry are etched into the terrain.
