Regional Maps
Southern California, from Bakersfield to Mexico. The green areas are mountain regions, light yellow is generally level terrain, no details were provided for Mexico to the south. If you're interested in endangered species, San Diego's wild animal park is just south of Fallbrook and their zoo is in Balboa Park in San Diego and 2 large aquariums are in the La Jolla Scripts Marine Institute and Sea World's San Diego park.
Southern California, a closer view. North is the top edge, Palm Springs would be immediately west and next to Cathedral City shown above, the University of California campus is in Riverside, Loma Linda University and medical center would be near Yucaipa, Mount San Jacinto is just east of the town of San Jacinto shown above. Highway 74 extends from the Palm Springs area at the east, passing through the pine covered San Jacinto Mountains, then the city of Hemet and Perris, then past Lake Elsinore, through mountainous oak woodlands, to the San Juan Capistrano Mission, harbor and beaches, near San Clemente.
Cities of San Jacinto and Hemet to the south. The San Jacinto River is shown in blue and the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains are to the northeast. Mount San Jacinto College is near the corner of highway 79 and the Ramona Expressway. Most stores and businesses are along highway 74, also known as Florida Avenue, or along highway 79, also known as San Jacinto Avenue.
Northern San Jacinto region. Elevation 1500 feet. The river bed is to the northeast and is part of an extensive regional park that extends dozens of miles from the mountains, which are primarily state and national forest lands, to well beyond the city of Riverside. The river is now maintained in a fixed location through tree removal and sand excavation. However it used to wander across the valley, establishing trees and restoring forests wherever it went. As the new forests would impede the flow of the river it would be forced to take a new course and plant new trees. Naturally inflexible paving and construction patterns ended that almost everywhere.
