1943 Map of Perris
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Perris township and the agricultural valleys of western Riverside County are captured here during World War II, a landscape defined by the convergence of the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. The map reveals a transition between the developed grid of Moreno Valley and the prominent Badlands to the north. Local landmarks of the era include several rural educational centers such as Midland Sch, Val Verde Sch, and Lakeview School. Thermal activity in the region is highlighted by Bernasconi Hot Springs near the San Jacinto River and Eden Hot Springs tucked into the hills of Mt Eden. This survey, prepared by the Corps of Engineers using aerial photography, documents the vital road network of the 1940s, including Alessandro Boulevard and Ironwood Avenue, before the massive post-war expansion of the Inland Empire.
