About this map

Yucaipa and the adjacent community of Calimesa dominate the southern portion of this mid-1990s landscape, showing significant residential development organized along a dense grid of avenues and boulevards. To the north and west, the terrain rises into the Crafton Hills and the slopes of the San Bernardino National Forest, where landmarks like Cram Peak and Morton Peak overlook the Santa Ana River. The area reflects a complex water management system essential to the Inland Empire, featuring the Wilson Flood Control Basin and numerous gaging stations along Mill Creek.

Educational and institutional growth is evident through the presence of Crafton Hills College and various local campuses like Yucaipa High School and Mentone School. This survey captures the region as it balanced suburban expansion with the rugged topography of the Yucaipa Ridge. Smaller settlements such as Dunlap Acres, Crafton, and Mountain Home Village provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the 20th-century history of eastern San Bernardino County.
