1953 Map of Sunnymead

About this map

Moreno Valley transitions from the structured grid of agricultural settlements to the steep, eroded terrain of The Badlands and Mt Russell in this early 1950s survey. The landscape is defined by its educational and military footprints, featuring the New Midland Sch, Old Midland Sch, and the discarded Ferndale Sch (Aban'd) near Console Springs. The southwestern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of March Air Force Base, while the central valley floor is subdivided by a distinctive street grid with floral and botanical names like Eucalyptus Ave, Cottonwood Ave, and Iris Ave. This map captures Sunnymead and Moreno during a period of steady development, where a regional Boy Scout Camp and several pipe lines crisscross the drainage basins of Reche Canyon and San Timoteo Canyon.
