About this map

The massive Steel Plant dominates the western industrial corridor of this mid-century landscape, signaling the heavy manufacturing era of Fontana. This region is a complex web of transportation and industry, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific railroads converge to serve the local economy. Beyond the industrial zones, the map reveals a rapidly expanding suburban network of schools such as Eisenhower High Sch and Sequoia Jr High Sch, alongside numerous neighborhood parks like Cypress Park.

South of the San Bernardino Freeway, the terrain shifts dramatically at the Jurupa Mountains, rising to Mount Jurupa. This southern portion of the sheet features the winding Santa Ana River and irrigation infrastructure like the Jurupa Ditch, supporting smaller communities such as Glen Avon and Rubidoux. Evidence of the area's geological utility is seen in the numerous quarries and the Cement Plant near Crestmore, contrasting with the manicured grounds of Green Acres Memorial Gardens.
