1967 Map of Redlands

About this map

The citrus-growing heritage and post-war suburban expansion of the Inland Empire are evident across the valley floor. Redlands serves as the central hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as Mentone, Bryn Mawr, and Harlem Springs. The agricultural legacy is anchored by packing and storage labels like Sunkist and Crown Jewel, while the transition to a modern infrastructure is marked by the presence of Norton Air Force Base and the San Bernardino Freeway. In the southern reaches, the map captures the transition from developed neighborhoods to the more natural landscapes of San Timoteo Canyon and Live Oak Canyon. Cultural landmarks like the San Bernardino Asistencia and Hillside Cem provide historical depth, while the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka And Santa Fe railroads illustrate the transportation networks that originally fueled the region's growth.
