1953 Map of Riverside East

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

March Air Force Base dominates the southeastern quadrant of this 1950s landscape, flanked by housing at Arnold Heights and West March. The expansion of Inland Southern California is visible in the burgeoning residential tracts of Belvedere Heights and Canyon Crest Heights, while the newly established University of California at Riverside takes root at the foot of the Box Springs Mountains. This era shows a complex transit network where the Pacific Electric and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe rail lines intersect the growing grid of Riverside. Irrigation infrastructure remains critical to the region's character, evidenced by the Gage Canal and Riverside Canal winding through the terrain. Local education is well-represented through numerous neighborhood landmarks, including Lincoln Sch, Irving Sch, and Lowell Sch.
