1942 Map of Riverside and Vicinity

About this map

The citrus groves and growing residential street grids of Riverside dominate this landscape just as the local economy was transitioning during the early 1940s. The map captures the significant rail infrastructure that once defined the region, showing the convergence of the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines, along with the Pacific Electric route. Prominent institutional landmarks such as the Sherman Institute, La Sierra College, and the Univ of California Citrus Experiment Sta highlight the city's role as a regional center for education and agricultural research.
