About this map

The San Jacinto River meanders across this Riverside County landscape, defining the northern border of the Lakeview Mountains and the prominent Mt Rudolph. This era of water management is clearly visible through the engineered path of the Colorado River Aqueduct and the San Diego Canal, which cut through the valley to serve the growing agricultural and residential needs of the region.

Evidence of the area's ancient and modern history is found at the Maze Stone Historical Marker near Reinhardt Canyon. Small-scale infrastructure like the Gaging Station and Sewage Disposal Ponds sits alongside established settlements at Lakeview and Tres Cerritos. The presence of several Prospect sites in the mountains suggests a history of mineral exploration, while the scattering of Duck Ponds along the riverbanks highlights the natural riparian habitats that remained amidst the developing grid of Reservoir Ave and Cottonwood Ave.
