1953 Map of Riverside West

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Mount Rubidoux stands as a prominent landmark over the bend of the Santa Ana River, anchoring a landscape in mid-century transition. The city of Riverside expands southward through Magnolia Center and Casa Blanca, with the built-up areas indicated by the red tint and concentrated around established transit corridors. Education and social institutions form the backbone of the community, ranging from the specialized Sherman Indian Institute and California School for the Deaf to the campus of Riverside College. Further west, the map details agricultural and residential shifts near Arlington and Arlanza Village, while the rail operations of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Pacific Electric line at Arlington Station illustrate the importance of commercial transport. The northern hills around Pedley and the southern slopes of the Sierra De San Jacinto provide a topographic frame to this valley of citrus groves and growing suburbs.
