1953 Map of Romoland

About this map

The broad desert basins of Perris Valley and Menifee Valley define this mid-century landscape, where agricultural land use transitions into early recreation and residential clusters. Small centers like Romoland and Menifee serve as the primary hubs, connected by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which includes the Ethanac Siding near the San Jacinto River. To the west, the Quail Valley Country Club represents a growing focus on leisure during the 1950s, while the southern reaches of the map near Paloma Valley remain more rural and industrially focused.
