Cherry Valley Hospital
Cherry Valley Hospital

Cherry Valley Hospital, also called Beaumont General Hospital and then Naval Convalescent Hospital Beaumont was a large medical treatment facility during World War 2 near the City of Beaumont, California in Riverside County. The US Army built a 1,000 bed hospital on the 241-acre site in the spring of 1942. The Hospital had 90 wood buildings, including 34 ward buildings, administrative, water treatment, support and staff quarters. The Hospital was at the base of foothills of the San Bernardino National Forest, 4 miles north of the city. The US Army used the to Hospital to support troops training in the California-Arizona Maneuver Area of the vast Desert Training Center. The vast training center trained US Army and Army Air Forces Troops in 1942 and 1943 to prepare for the North African campaign. The training center started in Pomona, California went eastward almost to Phoenix, Arizona, the south boundary was just outside Yuma, Arizona and north boundary to the southern part of Nevada. At the end of Army training the Cherry Valley Hospital was not needed and on May 26, 1944 the facility was surplus. Cherry Valley Hospital was transferred to the US Navy on July 1, 1944 and renamed Naval Convalescent Hospital Beaumont. The Naval Hospital cared for Troops with convalescent wounds or illness, those recovering from surgery and neuropsychiatric troops who were later discharged. After the war, the Hospital closed on December 31, 1945, all but one building was removed by July 1946. The one building remaining became a hardware store. In 1948 the land was sold by the General Services Administration and developed into residential properties, now in Cherry Valley, California, Cherry Valley Acres.

San Gorgonio Pass
San Gorgonio Pass

The San Gorgonio Pass, or Banning Pass, is a 2,600 ft (790 m) elevation gap on the rim of the Great Basin between the San Bernardino Mountains to the north and the San Jacinto Mountains to the south. The pass was formed by the San Andreas Fault, a major transform fault between the Pacific plate and the North American plate that is slipping at a rate of 7.2 ±2.8 mm/year. The tall mountain ranges on either side of the pass result in the pass being a transitional zone from a Mediterranean climate west of the pass, to a Desert climate east of the pass. This also makes the pass area one of the windiest places in the United States, and why it is home to the San Gorgonio Pass wind farm. It serves as a major transportation corridor between the Greater Los Angeles region and the Coachella Valley, and ultimately into Arizona and the United States interior. Both Interstate 10, and the Union Pacific Railroad, utilize the pass. When the rail line was completed in January, 1883, by the Southern Pacific Railroad, it was billed as the second U.S. transcontinental railroad.The pass is one of the deepest mountain passes in the 48 contiguous states, with the mountains to either side rising almost 9,000 ft (2,700 m) above it. San Gorgonio Mountain, taller but farther away and less visible, is at the northern side of the pass, and Mount San Jacinto is on the southern side. Mount San Jacinto has the fifth-largest rock wall in North America, and its peak is only six miles south of Interstate 10. The pass is also referred to as the Banning Pass due to the town of Banning being located about 6.5 miles east of the pass summit. The city itself was named for Phineas Banning who founded the town.
