LA CADENA DR<br />
Topography <strong>of</strong> the area is mostly low and flat, as the area is an extension <strong>of</strong> the<br />
eastern flood plains <strong>of</strong> the Santa Ana River. Flood control channels that flow both<br />
above and below ground bisect the area on an east-west axis and a natural hot<br />
spring, known most commonly as Elliotta Springs, is located just north <strong>of</strong> the survey<br />
boundaries at Strong and Orange Streets.<br />
Once contiguous with the residential property to the south, this portion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
survey area has been severed by the construction <strong>of</strong> the SR-60 (1960-63). North <strong>of</strong> the<br />
SR-60, Main Street angles to the north/northwest and continues as a main<br />
thoroughfare to outlying areas <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Northside</strong> and farther communities such as<br />
Colton. Here, Main Street is mixed in its use and exhibits single-family residences,<br />
commercial and service establishments, one vacant property, and the rear property<br />
<strong>of</strong> a public school – Fremont Elementary. Setbacks and lot sizes vary widely, and<br />
this portion <strong>of</strong> Main Street is improved with sidewalks. Orange Street, the other<br />
arterial to continue north from downtown into the <strong>Northside</strong> is similarly varied,<br />
with the main entrance to Fremont Elementary fronting the street alongside<br />
residential property <strong>of</strong> mixed density and across from <strong>Riverside</strong> County Flood<br />
Control and Water Conservation District property, vacant land, and Calvary Baptist<br />
Church. While sidewalks, curbs and gutters enhance the east side <strong>of</strong> Orange Street,<br />
the west side <strong>of</strong> the street exhibits a portion <strong>of</strong> rolled asphalt curbing and an area<br />
that lacks all amenities. Two properties, a tire and wheel shop (3615 Oakley Avenue)<br />
and a single-family residence 1953; 3651 Oakley Avenue), are isolated on the short<br />
