1901 Map of San Jacinto

About this map

The San Gorgonio Pass serves as the central corridor for the Southern Pacific R. R. and the growing settlements of Beaumont, Banning, and Cabezon at the turn of the century. To the west, the San Jacinto River waters the agricultural plains near San Jacinto and Hemet, where irrigation infrastructure like Park Hill and Florida Avenue defined early development. The landscape is dominated by the massive rise of the San Jacinto Mountains, reaching their peak at San Jacinto Pk., and the vast San Bernardino National Forest.
