1967 Map of Riverside West

About this map

The Santa Ana River winds through the heart of this Southern California landscape, separating the residential growth of Rubidoux from the expansive downtown and suburban districts of Riverside. This 1967 survey, updated with 1980 photorevisions, documents a period of rapid development where old citrus-growing legacies meet modern infrastructure. Large institutional landmarks like La Sierra College and the California School for the Deaf anchor their respective neighborhoods, while the Union Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads define the industrial and transport corridors. The map highlights significant open spaces and landmarks such as Mount Rubidoux, the Evergreen Cemetery, and the Riverside Municipal Airport. From the older settlements of Arlington and Casa Blanca to the man-made Mockingbird Reservoir, the sheet provides a detailed view of the regional transition from agricultural roots to a dense suburban hub.
