1996 Map of San Jacinto

About this map

The San Jacinto Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this mid-1990s survey, rising sharply above the valley floor where the San Jacinto River basin meets burgeoning residential grids. The map records a complex overlay of land tenure, from the historic San Jacinto Nuevo y Potrero Grant boundaries to the Soboba Indian Reservation and Morongo Indian Reservation. Urban expansion is evident in the structured street layouts of San Jacinto and Hemet, which are defined by a network of major thoroughfares such as Ramona Expy and Idyllwild Drive. Critical infrastructure is clearly marked, including the Colorado River Aqueduct and San Diego Aqueduct, which trace the periphery of the mountains. Significant local landmarks like Gilman Hot Springs, Soboba Hot Springs, and the San Jacinto Reservoir reflect the region's reliance on water resources and its history as a destination for thermal springs.
