1996 Map of San Bernardino North

About this map

San Bernardino sits at the foot of the San Bernardino National Forest, where the developed valley floor meets the steep ascent toward Monument Peak. This mid-1990s revision reveals a landscape shaped by water management and institutional growth, featuring extensive Percolation Basins near the Santa Fe RR tracks and the established campus of California State University San Bernardino. The transition from urban density to mountain wilderness is sharp, with neighborhoods like Muscoy and Del Rosa giving way to the elevated communities of Crestline and Valley of the Moon. Local history is anchored by the Pioneer Cem and a dense network of educational and medical facilities, including St Bernardine Hospital and the San Bernardino High School, reflecting the city's role as a regional hub before the turn of the century.
