About this map

Perris serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, illustrating a community at the intersection of traditional agriculture and modernization. The town's grid is established between the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the Escondido Freeway, while local institutions like St James Ch and the Perris Union High Sch anchor the residential core. To the north, the massive Perris Reservoir and the Colorado River Aqueduct signify the region's critical role in water management, with purple revision tints showing the planned expansion of the reservoir's shoreline into the San Jacinto Nuevo Hills.

Rural life is represented by the surrounding settlements of Nuevo, Romoland, and the Mayer Farms area. Notable landmarks such as the Perris Valley Cem, the Perris Valley Airport, and the Trolley Museum provide specific points of interest for local historians. Military and industrial presence is evident at the U S Military Res and the edges of March Air Force Base, while the San Jacinto River meanders across the eastern plains toward Lakeview Hot Springs.
