About this map

The Santa Ana River carves through this landscape, separating the residential development of Riverside from the Pedley Hills and the community of Rubidoux. This period captures a significant era of institutional and educational growth, evidenced by the large footprints of the Sherman Indian Institute, California Baptist College, and the California School for the Deaf. To the southwest, Arlington and La Sierra are connected by the historic corridor of Magnolia Avenue, a thoroughfare that has long defined the city's linear expansion.

Transit patterns are dominated by the Union Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which parallel the newer Riverside Freeway. Amidst the suburban sprawl, local industry and infrastructure are represented by Quarry Hill and the Riverside Municipal Airport, while landmarks like Mount Rubidoux and the Fairmount Park Golf Course provide glimpses into the city's established recreational spaces.
