1942 Map of Riverside
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Santa Ana River snakes past West Riverside in a landscape defined by intensive irrigation and military expansion during the early 1940s. The map captures a critical transition for the region, showing the Sherman Institute and La Sierra College alongside a dense grid of orange groves and water infrastructure like Arlington Water Plant No 2. Further south, the massive footprint of Camp Haan and the expansive Lake Mathews reservoir illustrate the region's role in supporting wartime personnel and the burgeoning water needs of Southern California.
