1942 Map of Lake Elsinore
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Elsinore Lake sits at the center of this 1942 survey, where the rugged slopes of the Elsinore Mountains and the Cleveland National Forest meet the growing settlements of the valley. Industrial and agricultural activity is evident through the presence of the Alberhill Clay Mine and the Good Hope Mine, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad provides the primary transport link through Elsinore Junction and past Canyon Siding. The landscape is dotted with early 20th-century family holdings like Compton Ranch, Snodgrass Ranch, and the Wheeler Ranch. In the southern reaches, the expansive Rancho Santa Rosa and isolated outposts such as the Tenaja Guard Station highlight the transition from established townships like Wildomar to the high, open mesas of Mesa de Colorado.
