1967 Map of Redlands

About this map

The city of Redlands serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by citrus production and strategic military presence. The sprawling Norton Air Force Base occupies the northwestern corner, while the educational and civic heart of the area is represented by the University of Redlands and the downtown City Hall. The map documents the dense suburban growth extending toward Mentone and East Highlands, contrasted by the broad, braided path of the Santa Ana Wash. To the south, the terrain transitions into the steep ridges of San Timoteo Canyon and Reche Canyon. Local history is preserved through the locations of numerous neighborhood schools like Lugonia Sch and Lankershim Sch, as well as the Hillside Cem overlooking the city. Transportation networks are prominent, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads which historically facilitated the region's agricultural shipping.
