1953 Map of Lake Elsinore
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Lake Elsinore and the seasonal waters of the San Jacinto River dominate this mid-century portrait of a changing Riverside County landscape. The town of Lake Elsinore is the focal point, showing a developed grid near the shoreline while industrial remnants like the Good Hope Mine and various Clay Pits near Terra Cotta point to the area's extraction history. Transportation is defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad corridor, which passes through North Elsinore and alongside Durant Siding. Regional development is visible in the residential layout of Lakeland Village and Sedco Hills, while the western edge is bounded by the Santa Ana Mountains and the protected slopes of the Cleveland National Forest. Smaller landmarks like Castle Lake School and the Elsinore Valley Cem provide essential anchor points for local history and genealogy.
