MAP OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY
San Bernardino, California: San Bernardino County Board of Trade, [1958]. Large folding map (34" x 21 1/2"), printed in black and green with a large county map on one side, 12 city plans on the other, and tourist information in the margins. A fresh example with only some very light edgewear.
This pre-210 Freeway map of San Bernardino records the vast expanse of San Bernardino County, the largest county in California with more than 12.8 million acres. At this time, there was no city of Rancho Cucamonga, which wasn’t incorporated until 1977 and is now the fourth largest city in the county by population.
One side of this map shows points of interest, as well as all the major military installations in the county, including Norton Air Force Base, a United States Air Force facility located two miles east of the city of San Bernardino. It was closed in 1994, and after years of environmental clean-up, it is now home to an international airport and global logistics complex employing nearly 18,000 people. Also shown is George Air Force Base in Adelanto, which closed in 1988 at the end of the Cold War and is now partially home to the High Desert Power Plant.
A small chart shows the county population was estimated at 466,00 with predictions by the planning commission for population growth to 1,160,000 by 1980. The population in 1980 reached 895,000 and is now over 2.2 million.
