About this map

The Perris township and the newly developing Perris Reservoir define this landscape during a period of significant water infrastructure expansion. The map documents the purple-shaded growth of the residential core around the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line and the Escondido Freeway. This era shows the community's transition from a rail-and-agriculture hub—marked by Mayer Farms and the Perris Valley Airport—toward a regional recreation and transit center.

Local history is preserved in the detailed markings of the Trolley Museum near Metz Road and the De Anza Trail Monument in the Bernasconi Hills. Significant civic landmarks include Perris Union High Sch and the Perris Valley Cem, while the northern boundary is dominated by the sprawling southern edge of March Air Force Base. The Colorado River Aqueduct and San Jacinto River highlight the vital water management systems supporting the Nuevo and Val Verde settlements.
