About this map

Placentia and Yorba Linda anchor this landscape during a period of rapid suburban expansion in Orange County. The 1978-era urban growth, marked in purple, pushes into the Puente Hills and Chino Hills, contrasting with the extensive Oil Field operations and citrus heritage of the Ca&on De Santa Ana. While new residential tracts fill the valleys, older landmarks like the La Vida Mineral Springs and the Robert Diemer Filtration Plant remain central to the local geography.

The northern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by deep drainages like Tonner Canyon and Soquel Canyon, which meet at the border of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. Key infrastructure, including the Pomona Freeway and the Orange Freeway, frames the foothills where Sleepy Hollow sits at the edge of the hills. Educational and community institutions like Valencia High Sch and St Joseph Sch serve the maturing neighborhoods of Fullerton and Brea.
