Geography

Eastvale is bordered by San Bernardino County (Ontario and Chino) to the north and west, by Interstate 15 and Wineville Avenue to the east, and the Santa Ana River and Norco to the south. The Los Angeles County line is approximately 8 miles northwest of Eastvale, and the Orange County line is approximately 5 miles to the southwest.
