About this map

San Bernardino and Riverside anchor this mid-century portrait of the Inland Empire, showcasing a landscape rapidly transforming from citrus groves into a major transportation and military hub. The northern half is dominated by the grid of San Bernardino, featuring landmarks like San Bernardino Valley College and the Pioneer Memorial Cem. To the east, Norton Air Force Base stands as a massive installation bordering the Santa Ana River.

Southward, the influence of the railroads is clear, with the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines converging near Colton and West Colton. Significant industrial features like the Cement Plant at Slover Mtn and various gravel pits underscore the region's mid-century development. In the southeast, Loma Linda is defined by Loma Linda University and its Loma Linda University Hospital, while the historic Agua Mansa Cem remains near the river, a reminder of the area's early settlement history.
