1953 Map of Sunnymead

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

March Air Force Base anchor the southwestern corner of this mid-century portrait of Riverside County, where the desert landscape meets expanding residential grids. The settlement of Sunnymead and the community of Moreno are depicted during a period of transition, with a network of established boulevards like Alessandro Blvd and Ironwood Ave cutting through the arid terrain. The map captures a layer of educational history, identifying the New Midland Sch, Old Midland Sch, and the already Ferndale Sch (Aband) in Reche Canyon. To the north and east, the dramatic topography of The Badlands and Mt Russell dominates the skyline, while the Southern Pacific railroad follows the natural corridor of San Timoteo Canyon. This survey provides a look at the early infrastructure of the Moreno Valley before modern suburban development fully transformed the open spaces.
