About this map

Grazide Ranch sits at the foot of the Puente Hills, illustrating the agricultural legacy that once defined this portion of the Los Angeles Basin. By the early 21st century, the landscape shows a transition into dense residential communities like Hacienda Heights and Rowland Heights, though substantial open space remains preserved in Powder Canyon and Brea Canyon. This survey captures the region as a major educational and civic hub, evidenced by the sprawling campus of California State University - Fullerton and the Fullerton Arboretum at its southern edge.

The map details the intricate drainage systems flowing from the heights, including Arroyo Pescadero and Coyote Cr, which weave through established neighborhoods such as Des Moines and Leffingwell. Institutional landmarks and memorial sites are prominent, from the Queen of Heaven Cem in the north to the Memory Garden Memorial Park near La Habra. The presence of the Union Pacific railroad corridor underscores the historical transportation network that facilitated the growth of these border communities between Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
