1942 Map of Temecula

About this map

The Temecula Valley serves as a natural gateway between the coastal plains and the inland desert, defined by the convergence of the Temecula River and Murrieta Creek at the town of Temecula. This 1942 survey, prepared by the War Department Corps of Engineers, reveals a landscape of ranching and early citrus cultivation before the suburban expansion of later decades. Significant portions of the land are dedicated to the Pechanga Indian Reservation and the Pala Indian Reservation, centered near the San Luis Rey River.
