1901 Map of San Jacinto

About this map

The San Jacinto Forest Reserve and San Bernardino Forest Reserve dominate this landscape, capturing the San Jacinto Mountains before the heavy urbanization of the Inland Empire. The Southern Pacific R. R. follows the San Gorgonio River through the pass, connecting rail stops at Beaumont, Banning, and Palm Springs Sta.. On the western slopes, the agricultural and resort potential of the region is evident in the layout of San Jacinto and Hemet, alongside early leisure destinations like Relief Hot Springs. Significant portions of the land are dedicated to various indigenous communities, including the Agua Caliente Ind. Res. and Coahuila Indian Reservation. High-altitude features like San Jacinto Pk. and Hemet Reservoir illustrate the vital water management and topographic diversity that defined early Riverside County.
