1953 Map of Lakeview

About this map

San Jacinto Nuevo Potrero land grant boundaries define the northern layout of this Riverside County landscape, where the San Jacinto River valley meets the granite peaks of the Lakeview Mountains. By the early 1950s, the area had become a hub of water management and agriculture, anchored by the massive Colorado River Aqueduct and the San Jacinto Reservoir. The small settlement of Lakeview sits at the base of the hills, surrounded by a grid of citrus groves and ranching tracts like the Bar V Ranch.
