1954 Map of Sage

About this map

Sage sits at the junction of upland valleys and rugged ridges in this mid-century portrait of Riverside County. The settlement character is defined by isolated ranching and resource management, anchored by a Fire Control Station and the San Ignacio School. Small-scale water infrastructure like the Adobe Spr and numerous Reservoirs indicate the vital importance of water management in this arid landscape. The survey also captures human history in quieter ways, noting Graves near the main road and several Mines and Prospects tucked into the hills.
