1953 Map of Riverside West

About this map

Santa Ana River hydrology and historic Spanish land grants define the landscape of western Riverside during this mid-century period of transition. The map captures the interface between industrial agriculture and post-war suburban expansion, clearly marking the boundaries of the La Sierra (Sepulveda) Grant Bdy and Jurupa Grant Boundary. Prominent institutional sites like the Sherman Indian Institute, the California School for the Deaf, and the County Farm appear alongside established neighborhoods such as Arlington and Casa Blanca.
