About this map

Menifee Valley and the Perris Valley form the heart of this mid-century landscape, where agricultural expanses are punctuated by early suburban development and the tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The settlement at Romoland and the community of Menifee serve as the primary hubs, with social life centered around the Menifee-Antelope Community Hall and the rural Menifee Sch.

Evidence of local industry and leisure is scattered across the terrain, from the Leon Mine and a local Gravel Pit to the planned layout of the Quail Valley Country Club. The topography is defined by prominent rises like Double Butte and Bell Mtn, while the San Jacinto River and Railroad Canyon Res indicate the critical role of water management in this Inland Empire region. Traces of historical infrastructure are visible throughout, including the Ethanac Siding and a major Pipe Line cutting through the valleys.
