About this map

San Bernardino anchors the lower half of this late-1960s landscape, illustrating a period of rapid institutional and residential growth. The arrival of California State College San Bernardino at the base of the Shandin Hills marks a significant expansion of the city's academic footprint, while the dense grid of neighborhoods like Muscoy and Rialto shows the post-war suburban development pressing toward the mountains. A complex network of rails including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific indicates the area's continued importance as a transportation hub.

In the north, the terrain shifts abruptly into the San Bernardino National Forest. This rugged mountain section is characterized by recreational and residential enclaves such as Crestline, Cedarpines Park, and the Valley of Enchantment. The presence of Gregory Lake and numerous summer camps, like the Saint Sophia Camp, highlights the region's long-standing role as a high-altitude retreat for the Inland Empire. From the steep slopes of Arrowhead Peak to the wash of Lytle Creek, the map details a sharp contrast between urban progress and protected wilderness.
