About this map

The San Manuel Indian Reservation and the sprawling grounds of the Patton State Hospital dominate the foothills where the urban grid of San Bernardino meets the steep climbs of the San Bernardino National Forest. This 1967 revision documents the intense physical geography of the region, from the residential clusters at Del Rosa and Highland to the high-altitude resort communities of Skyforest, Rimforest, and Twin Peaks.

Connecting these disparate elevations is the winding path of The Rim of the World Drive, a route that traces the crest near Strawberry Peak. In the valley, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor supports the industrial and suburban growth of Patton and West Highlands. The map captures a transition point in Southern California's development, where institutional landmarks like San Gorgonio High Sch and Aquinas Sch sit just miles away from the primitive Mud Flat Trail and the headwaters of City Creek.
