1967 Map of Redlands

About this map

Redlands and its surrounding citrus-growing heritage are captured here in late-century detail, showing the city's expansion alongside the Santa Ana River and Santa Ana Wash. The urban core is anchored by City Hall, the University of Redlands, and the historic The Zanja irrigation canal, which once provided essential water to the region's orchards. To the north, Norton Air Force Base marks the Cold War-era military footprint on the San Bernardino valley, while the eastern edge transition toward the San Bernardino National Forest. Transportation routes such as the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Pacific Electric railroad lines highlight the area's role as a transit hub. Neighborhoods like Bryn Mawr, Mentone, and Harlem Springs reveal the settlement patterns of San Bernardino County before the most intense modern suburban infill. From the Hillside Cem to the local campuses like Clements Jr High Sch, the map preserves a specific cultural landscape of schools, churches, and civic infrastructure.
