100 Years of Corona, California (1886-1986)
Marvelous pictorial advertising map of Corona, in southeastern Riverside County.
Oriented with East at the top, the map shows the community in bright colors, centered on Sixth Street. Numerous advertisements dot the map, including many businesses that are still located in the neighborhood.
This was a period when Corona was going though a significant growth phase, which saw it grow from an agricultural and horse community, which grew from about 40,000 to nearly 200,000 over the period between 1980 and 2020.
The Ranlee Publishing Company ran a short-lived but very successful business based on producing maps of cities across the US, which were funded by charging advertisers several hundred dollars each for advertising space. While the company eventually grew to have branch offices in eleven cities across the nation, it would be dismantled in the late 1980s after charges of defrauding businesses who had paid for, but never received, maps.
