1949 Map of Prado Dam

About this map

Prado Dam and its expansive Prado Flood Control Basin anchor this late-1940s landscape at the confluence of Chino Creek and the Santa Ana River. The area reflects a complex mid-century transition from institutional and military use to suburban and recreational development. To the north, the massive California Institution for Men and the Cal-Aero Flight Academy dominate the Chino valley floor, while the Los Serranos Country Club and Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens signify the emerging leisure economy.
