About this map

Perris Valley and Menifee Valley define this mid-century landscape as it transitioned from traditional rural outposts to planned suburban developments. The presence of Sun City and Quail Valley highlights the post-war growth of retirement and recreational communities, complete with a Golf Course and the Quail Valley Country Club. This residential expansion is juxtaposed against the area's older agricultural and industrial roots, seen in the path of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the Ethanac Siding.

Local infrastructure for established families remains visible at the Menifee Sch and the Menifee-Antelope Community Hall. The terrain is marked by distinctive rises like Bell Mtn and Double Butte, while resource extraction is noted at the Leon Mine and a local Gravel Pit. These features, along with an extensive network of named roads like Murrieta Road and Newport Road, document the changing face of Riverside County during the late 1970s revision.
