About this map

Riverside and its surrounding communities are shown here during a period of significant inland growth and military activity. The expansive March Air Force Base dominates the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, with its distinctive reservation boundary bordering residential developments like Arnold Heights and Edgemont. This survey captures the vital water infrastructure that supported the region's development, including the Gage Canal and the Riverside Water Co Canal, which trace the contours of the landscape below the Box Springs Mountains.

Educational and transit hubs are well-defined, from the sprawling campus of the University of California Riverside and its Experiment Station to the complex rail network of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Local landmarks such as Polytechnic High Sch and the Sheriff Academy serve as anchors for established neighborhoods, while the presence of the Riverside Freeway and Escondido Freeway illustrates the burgeoning automotive-centric transit system of the late 1960s.
