1954 Map of Redlands

About this map

Redlands serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, surrounded by a landscape defined by the citrus industry and a complex network of rail and water infrastructure. The irrigation needs of the San Bernardino Valley are evident through features like the Zanja and numerous reservoirs, while the agricultural heritage of the era is marked by packing and shipping points such as Sunkist and Crown Jewel. A dense grid of schools—including Kingsbury Sch, Franklin Sch, and McKinley Sch—radiates from the city center toward the University of Redlands.
