About this map

Menifee Valley and the surrounding basins are captured here during a period of transition, where established ranching and agricultural operations began to define the modern landscape of Riverside County. The settlement of Romoland serves as a primary hub along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, supported by the Ethanac Siding. Local community life is anchored by the Menifee Sch and the Menifee-Antelope Community Hall, reflecting the decentralized social structure of the early 1950s.

The topography is marked by distinctive elevations like Bell Mtn and Double Butte, with the San Jacinto River and Railroad Canyon Res providing essential water resources. Evidence of local industry appears at the Leon Mine and a Gravel Pit near Perris Valley. A network of thoroughfares, including Newport Road and Bradley Road, connects these disparate settlements and natural features across the expansive terrain.
