About this map

The Kaiser Steel Plant dominates the industrial landscape west of Fontana, a city defined by its heavy manufacturing base and grid-like residential growth during the mid-20th century. This territory spans the San Bernardino and Riverside County line, stretching from the foothills south toward the Santa Ana River. The area's economic backbone is clearly visible through the dual rail corridors of the Southern Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, which service the sprawling mills and local quarries.

Smaller residential pockets like Bloomington and Crestmore provide a contrast to the industrial zones, while the Jurupa Mountains offer a natural barrier between the urbanized north and the riverside settlements of Glen Avon and Sunnyslope. Educational and community infrastructure is well-represented by numerous campuses, including Fontana High Sch and Eisenhower High Sch, alongside landmarks such as the County Museum and Green Acres Memorial Gardens (Cem).
