1967 Map of Perris

About this map

Perris serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, updated with purple revisions in 1979 to show the rapid expansion of the urban area. The landscape is defined by the significant footprint of the Perris Reservoir to the northeast, held back by the Bernasconi Hills and Potrero terrain. Transportation and infrastructure dominate the valley floor, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad runs parallel to the Escondido Freeway, supporting a region transitioning from agricultural holdings like Mayer Farms to suburban and military utility.
