About this map

The city of Redlands serves as the focal point of this Inland Empire study, situated between the expansive Santa Ana Wash and the southern slopes of San Timoteo Canyon. The map details the mid-century suburban expansion of San Bernardino County, particularly the growth radiating from the city center toward Mentone and Crafton. A complex network of irrigation and water management is visible, including The Zanja and several reservoirs, reflecting the region's agricultural foundations even as residential developments like Crown Jewel and Bryn Mawr began to fill the landscape.

Military and industrial footprints are prominent at Norton Air Force Base, while the transit history of the area is preserved through the routes of the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. Local social infrastructure is well-documented, from historic educational sites like Lankershim Sch and Clement Jr High Sch to the prominent Hillside Cem and the various country clubs and athletic fields that defined local recreation in this era.
