About this map

The Santa Ana River carves through the center of this dense Southern California landscape, dividing the metropolitan centers of Anaheim and Orange from the residential heights to the east. Extensive water management infrastructure is evident throughout the corridor, including the Miller Retarding Basin, Anaheim Lake, and the complex network of the Santa Ana-Valley Canal and Anaheim Union Canal. These features highlight the region's historic transition from an agricultural powerhouse to a major urban hub.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks concentrated near the Santa Ana River and Santiago Cr, such as the Yorba Cemetery and Saint Johns Cemetery. Educational and religious institutions like Chapman University-University College and Trinity Law and Graduate School are clearly marked. The topography rises sharply into the Peralta Hills and Loma Ridge, where trails such as Coachwhip and the Wilderness Trail wind through canyons near Rattlesnake Peak.
