About this map

Agricultural groves and developing residential blocks characterize the Santa Ana Valley at mid-century, where the city of Orange and the northern edge of Santa Ana anchor a landscape defined by water and transport. The Santa Ana River winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by a massive Levee and the tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. This era shows the dense network of local schools serving the growing population, from Killefer Sch to Union H S, alongside established institutions like St Josephs Hosp and the Courthouse.
