Emory 1847Sketch of the Passage of the Rio San Gabriel, Upper California by the Americans discomfiting the Opposing Mexican Forces, January 8th, 1847Huntington Rare Book Collection -A small sketch from the Mexican-American War, focused primarily on military movements. Scope is limited; the only markers are a stream and a small plain to the north of the river surrounded by a forty-foot “sharp bank.” Appears to be near the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. HRBC #495562 ?F Frank Olmsted1913MReport on San Gabriel River Control to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors. -Los Angeles County, Calif. Board of EngineersOlmsted was hired by the board to “take up the work of the engineering work in connection with the San Antonio Protection District, and…make a study of the SGR as a whole”, in response to the floods of 1910-11. Contains great history section: Under Spanish and Mexican rule the SGR “emptied into San Pedro Bay, although it is quite possible that anterior to the white race there may have been an outlet further east. Like most alluvial streams, the tendency of the flood flows has always been to create a cone of detritus below the canyon mouth and to ride these boulder and gravel-built cones until such a time as the stream naturally broke over and carved for itself a new and lower channel… “Previous to 1867, the San Gabriel River emptied into San Pedro Bay, through what is now known as the Los Angeles River. In the winter of 1867-8, during a period of exceptionally high water, the San Gabriel River, near Protrero Chico and at a point where the stream swerved sharply to the west, broke south through a small draw, and before the winter was over a large portion of the flow was being channeled through this new channel into Alamitos Bay. The new channel became known as New River, and previous to 1870 carried virtually all of the San Gabriel waters. “In these early years, there is reason to believe that ordinarily the winter floods did not have the same erosive action on the banks as at the present time; the natural brush covering of the country being of some protection… “In the early seventies, there came a time of very high water, and an irrigating ditch heading below Duarte broke out and the ditch became one of the principal branches of the SGR, known as Lexington Wash. Previous to 1870 there was no bridge required west of El Monte, but since that time a large portion of the SGR flow has been carried through this Lexington Wash, requiring as ample bridge crossings as those on the original stream. No high water for the next thirteen years. In 1884 the Santa Fe Railroad “built diversion works near Santa Fe bridge and diverted the water back to the original SGR channel where it continued to flow until 1891 when another high flood again broke out the banks and the Lexington wash and the Rio Hondo became the main SGR channels; the original ditch cutting deeper and deeper, widening the channel, destroying property, and doing much damage.” Between 1908-1913, “rock-crusher outfits (?) operating near Duarte have by their extraction of large amounts of gravel and rock from certain sections of the river bed tended to draw the stream away from its eastern and normal channel to the west, increasing the danger of a break westerly along the entire right bank of the river from Pacific Electric Bridge to El Monte. At the time of writing (1913) “more than nine-tenths of the total flow goes west and is finally delivered into San Pedro Bay. Describes the effects of the floods of 1910-1911: “two 20-foot spans of the east end of Mission Bridge were washed out, including 300 feet of land easterly of the bridge…no actual wash occurred excepting near the bridge, where a crescent of fine alluvial soil, some four acres in extent, was scoured out and the river was deflected 90 degrees to the right. “One of the most critical general situations along the whole river is between the Old Mission Bridge and the Whittier Bridge. During the last four years [1909-1913] some sixty acres of fertile land in this stretch of river have been washed out and replaced by sandy river stretches, over which willows and are now growing, and this year, 1913, the Los Angeles County Highway construction is seriously threatened.” “The whole territory contiguous to the Rio Hondo on both sides below Hunt’s crossing was more or less menaced or actually damaged by the flood of 1910-1911….the same amount of water, if the channel had been straightened and cleared of brush could have passed without endangering the banks, if watched and locally reinforced where points of weakness developed.” “For the last three years, the floods below the San Antonio Protection District have almost invariably completely covered the country, have hidden roads, silted up the farms, made new channels, and filled up the old ones, until people along this stretch of the stream have hardly known how to protect or to handle their ranches.” Olmsted goes on to give a description of the SGR from the canyon mouth to the sea. He notes that: “the Delta Cone of the Canyon reaching from the mouth of the Canyon to about two miles above El Monte is the particular section of the stream that has engrossed the greater part of study to which we have given the stream, for we are fully convinced that the detritus cone is where the relief is to come from, if any comes in this river control.” The water plane was shown to be 97 feet below ground at the Azusa Agricultural Company’s well in 9/1913, located “about three-quarters of mile below the canyon mouth.” Posits three methods of controlling the SGR: 1) “the storage of flood flows in surface reservoirs” 2) “the artificial spreading of flood flows over the gravel deposits of the upper river so as to obtain the maximum absorption possible” 3) “the aligning and strengthening of the river channel below, so that the maximum amount of water may be quickly discharged” This report also contains 3 maps: 1) General Map showing the Detritus Cone from Canyon Mouth to Below Division of Two Rivers. (not sure what I’m looking at in this one) 2) General Map Showing the San Gabriel River with its Various Channels from 1868 to 1912. Depicts different channels of the river (e.g. channel of 1868 [New River], channel of 1886 – where does his come from? Not explained in the text) and overlaid solid and dotted pathways, though it is not apparent which were the 1912 route of the river) 3) Map Showing Three Rivers in Conection with Official Channel of Rio Hondo in the San Antonio Protection District.

Farnsworth1883zA Southern California Paradise: A Historic and Descriptive Account of Pasadena, San Gabriel, Sierra Madre, and La Cañada Booster literature, but has references to the region’s rivers: “the rivers have been aptly described as streams ‘bottom side up.’ Even when their waters are not diverted for irrigating purposes, their channels for the large part of the year are dry. Hidden streams are almost always flowing through strata of sand a gravel beneath these dry water courses.” (9) From “San Gabriel” by Alice P. Adams on the founding of the San Gabriel Mission: “the little party of explorers reached the site of the proposed mission in December 1771, and the work of clearing the ground began immediately, and the first rude buildings erected. A picturesque situation on the hill-slopes near the San Gabriel River had the ‘Mission Vieja’ or ‘Old Mission’ as it is still called.” Two more missions were built, and destroyed by earthquakes, the third and final one built being the present Mission San Gabriel in 1804. When the last was completed, “a grist-mill was built near by, and a second…was located a mile and a half distant. The waters of the neighboring canyons, after being utilized at the mill, were brought down to the mission for irrigating purposes.”(13) From “Water Supply of Pasadena” by Perry M. Green: “The manner in which the settlement of Pasadena has been made, by the laying off from time to time of new additions, as the population has increased, has resulted in the formation of different companies for supplying the inhabitants with water for domestic purposes. The first of these companies, and one which was coeval with the founding of the settlement, was the San Gabriel Orange Grove Association.”(48) – get their water from Tibbett Springs in the Arroyo Seco. Great deal of descriptions of planned flora- citrus, “semi-tropical fruit,” etc. HRBC # 2343 ?ILenore Rowland1948 The Romance of La Puente Rancho [Extensive quotes from Mrs. Dan Powell, who collected a great deal of history as part of the WPA program According to an 1858 report of the Visiting Committee of the California State Agricultural Society, John Rowland and John Reed (the former’s son-in-law) “built a dam across San Jose Creek…Rowland built a flour mill halfway between his home and the Reed home. A large ditch carried the water from the dam to the mill and to the lands that needed irrigation.” (14-15) “In the early days, there was always a time for pleasure. A marriage was heralded with weeks of feasting, dancing, and general merrymaking. Sometimes whole families would journey for two or three days by carriage to attend a wedding. Often a large group of horses would be driven over San Gabriel River to test the riverbed for quicksand, before a carriage crossed it.” (20) HRBC # 278221j;JStuart O’Melveny1955'It’s Best to Divide with Our Friends “In the old days before the advent of hydroelectric development and before the mountains were scarred and the stream beds turned to mud flats by flood control dams, the SGR flowed all the way to the sea. It was the best trout stream in Southern California and I have taken good trout from it in the Whittier Narrows long after it left the mountains and commence to traverse the coastal plain…Wherever the floods of winter had not scoured the stream bed, alders and sycamores graced its banks… “About seven miles above the mouth of the canyon, on the western bank of the river, there were three pieces of comparatively level land of a few acres each. Here an old-timer named George Islip built a cabin in 1880 and planted an orchard of varied trees”(1) “here [at the home of H.C. Roberts built at the entrance to the canyon in 1859] were the stock corrals and equipment for the pack trains that carried supplies not only to the extensive hydraulic mines on the East Fork, but for many of the inhabitants of the canyon as well… “The big San Gabriel gold rush started in 1858 an a horde of miners poured into the canyon, building their shacks and stone cabins along the East Fork, most of which were later destroyed by fire and flood…men who were to have a large part in the history of the canyon…among them William and Cornelius Potter, W.G. Ferguson, Buell, Bonus Smith, and Mark Lorenzo.” (2) A group of men built the “Creel Club” on the banks of the SGR in Persinger Canyon- it was destroyed in a fire in 1919 (4) In 1891, a log cabin club house for the Pasadena Bait Club built on the West Fork under the supervision of L.C. Torrance and H.H. Rose (the latter later became an LA mayor). The club moved to new accommodations two miles upriver, and old house burned in the “great fire of 1924.”(5) “Prior to 1880, the San Gabriel Valley was in many respects a plain with a few ranches here and there. But with the coming of the Southern Pacific in 1881 and the Santa Fe in 1887, these ranches were subdivided, farms sold, and townsites laid out. In the immediate vicinity of the mouth of the San Gabriel Canyon the townsites of Azusa, Covina, Duarte, and Monrovia were established and flourished.” (7)- their principal water supply was the SGR, which led to nasty litigation. Committee of Nine developed to represent the interests of the nine separate interests. Use of the SGR for electric power approved by this committee in 1898. William Kerckhoff, A.C. Balch, Abe Haas, Kaspare Cohn, and O’Melveny’s father formed the San Gabriel Electric Co. (which merged with Pacific Light & Power Co. then later was subsumed by SoCal Edison). “In the canyons there were great gorgeous tiger lilies and in the flats tall scarlet larkspur, and everywhere castillia, nemophila or baby-blue-eyes, and orange wall flowers. We picked wild gooseberries for pies. At one place in the West Fork we found a large tree poppy and this bush became a landmark in the future. Sometimes in the spring after a rain, or in the evening when all the chaparral was dark green and the wild lilac was in bloom, the hillsides appeared covered with silver dust and almost every spray was in full relief (12).” Another major fire in 9/1924. (14) Description of 2/1914 flood: “our rain gauge showed nine inches of rain in twenty-four hours and the damage was great. The mountains were scarred and our little canyon which furnished our water supply was devastated, bridges washed out, ladders gone, water system demolished, and its quiet pastoral beauty destroyed (15).” “We had many adventures with rattlesnakes…once a peahen came…and I once shot a wild goose – the only one I ever saw in the canyon (16).” “And so I went, galloping where I could and fording the river at many crossings as the road alternated from side to side in the canyon bottom, always seeking the higher and more level stretches. Through groves of sycamores and cottonwoods, trough flats covered with yuccas – the Spanish bayonet – through stands of live oak, I urged the horse on, knowing he could have a long rest while I fished (26).” “the large woodwardia fern which grows in shady, damp places can be stripped of its foliage easily and was my favorite for packing in with the fish (27).” Discusses 1924 bond measure and the $25 million San Gabriel Dam (at the Forks) and the construction of the Morris Dam at Pine Canyon – built to provide extra water to Pasadena and named for Pasadena city engineer Sam Morris (29).

(Harbor silted.) “Two facts should be noted: 1st. these complete records as quoted from the U.S. weather Bureau extend back only to 1878. 2nd. The floods prior to 1878 mentioned are simply those remembered by the witnesses in the case of Daneri vs. the Southern California Railway Company; Superior court Los Angeles County, 1889. It is quite possible that there may have been other floods which they did not recall. It would be an exceptional memory which could recall every serious flood in the preceding seventy-two years. Yet that is the testimony in the case quoted. The maximum interval between floods mentioned in tat testimony was twenty-nine years, from 1833 to 1862. yet others have since stated that serious floods occurred in 1842 and 1852. Many persons state 1874 to have had a serious flood. It is possible, if not probable, that still others occurred without accompanying incident to make the especially remembered. It would seem more reasonable, therefore, in attempting an estimate of the probability of floods, to consider a period only as far back as 1862 (173-174).” Entire board unanimously votes to divert the flow of the LA and SG rivers into Alamitos Bay.

California Printing OfficeBulletin No. 7F 868 S 165 C62 Objects of Conkling’s investigation: “(1) to deduce a rule by which unappropriated water, that is the water which wastes into the ocean from san Gabriel Canyon, could be calculated for any future flow, and (2) to find a method by which the supplies of the Basin could be conserved and regulated to the fullest possible (p. 8).” “Records of rainfall began in Los Angeles in 1877-78, at Glendora in San Gabriel valley in 1880-81 and at various stations in the Valley since then (p.30).” “Water Consumed – Native and Cultivated Vegetation Native vegetation falls into three general classes which have root zones of different depths. The luxuriant growth of desert brush in San Gabriel Valley has a very deep root zone. The very large brush probably has roots which reach down as much as 16 feet. Grass and weeds which are the two other classes probably have a root zone of three or four feet. Brush grows slowly and water within the reach of roots constitutes a reservoir from which it withdraws water and keeps growing during the summer if the reservoir is filled by normal winter rains. Grass grows rapidly and rapidly depletes the shallow reservoir o water within reach of its shallow root zone. Consequently it withers soon after the rains cease. When an orange grove or any of the shallow rooted cultivated crops are planted where brush has been before, the deep reservoir which is within reach of the root zone of the brush is changed to the shallow reservoir within reach of the root zone of the planted crop. Consequently more rainfall will get past the planted crop to and into the water plane than would have been the case with the native brush, because there is a shallower reservoir which must be filled before the deep percolating rainfall can reach the subsoil which is perfectly wet to field capacity. In addition it is not always possible for the farmer to so irrigate that there is not left some irrigation water within the root zone when the rains begin. Between and orange grove and very heavy brush this difference in water held backing the reservoir created by the root zone is believed to be as much as 12 inches of water in the winters of heavy rainfall. Consequently planting of such crops will, where planting is on brush land, create a large increment of water which was formerly transpired by the brush but which now reaches the water plane. In reality it moves the location of a part of the subsurface reservoir from just below the ground surface to the ground water plane from which it must be withdrawn by pumping back to the same area it formerly supplied naturally. Thus a part of the water pumped or available for pumping to a cultivated crop is that which formerly was wasted by the native plant (pp.42-43).” };P Howard Conkling 1927USan Gabriel Investigation: Report for the Period July 1, 1923 to September 30, 1926. HCalifornia Department of Public Works (CDPW). Division of Water Rights. Bulletin No.5F 868 S 165 C6“In the fifties and before, the waters of the San Gabriel reached the ocean differently than now. The maps in this report show the present course of the stream, dividing into two above El Monte with the western branch called the Rio Hondo, and flowing into the Los Angeles River and then to Long Beach, and the eastern branch called San Gabriel or New San Gabriel and flowing into Alamitos Bay. During historical times, and up to 1867 Rio Hondo was a “cienega” [‘very swampy land with rising water’] creek, rising in the “monte” lands around and below the city of El Monte and flowing as present to the san Gabriel River. New San Gabriel River was also a cienega stream and was the extension of San Jose or Puente Creek to the ocean. San Gabriel River was in its present channel to a point a short distance north of the present mouth of the San Jose Creek and at that point turned westward and reached the present Rio Hondo about one mile south of Mission Bridge where San Gabriel Boulevard crosses Rio Hondo. Thence it flowed in approximately its present channel to the ocean.” “On Christmas night, 1867, a great flood broke across the low land from the San Gabriel into San Jose Creek and reached the ocean through the old San Jose channel. The old river bed running westerly filled up with sand and for some years all San Gabriel flowed directly into Alamitos Bay. In 1884 another flood broke over above El Monte into Rio Hondo and since then waters from the mountains have gone both ways (107). };Q Harold Conkling1929VSan Gabriel Investigation: Report for the Period October 1, 1926 to September 30, 1928'Reports of the Division of Water RightsCalifornia Printing OfficeBulletin No. 6F 868 S 165 C6Contains tables of water use by city, measurements in percolation in tributaries and river in second feet, historical precipitation levels and stream discharges as measured by gaging stations throughout the San Gabriel Valley and Coastal Plain.

Publishers HRBC #207945p.5 recounts the founding of the Mission San Gabriel on the river’s shores p.7 “In less than sixty years from the founding of the Mission San Gabriel, the herds of neat cattle, bands of horses, and flocks of sheep and goats, of the three missions of this county, covered the major part of the land in Los Angeles county.” p.9 “as early as 1825, the number of neat cattle and horse kind had increased so much, that the pasturage of the country embraced in this county was insufficient for its support, and that of the wild horses, of which there were tens of thousands which had no claimant, and which in small bands, each under its male leader, roamed over their prospective haunts, consuming the herbage, and enticing into their bands the horses and brood mares of the stock breeders.” The rancheros addressed this problem by driving the horses into corrals and slaughtering them. Recalls an earthquake on 12/8/1812. p.10 “In 1825, the rivers of this county were so swollen that their bed, their banks, and the adjoining lands were greatly changed. At the date of the settlement of Los Angeles City, a large portion of the country, from the central part of the city to the tidewater of the sea, through and over which the Los Angeles River now finds its way to the ocean, was largely covered with a forest, interspersed with tracts of marsh. From that time until 1825, it was seldom, if in any year, that the river discharged, even during the rainy season, its waters to the sea. Instead of having a river way to the sea, the waters spread over the country, filling the depressions in the surface, and forming lakes, ponds, and marshes. The river water, if any, that reached the ocean, drained off from the land at so many places and in such small volumes, that no channel existed until the flood of 1825.” “The flood of 1832 so changed the drainage in the neighborhood of Compton and the northeastern portion of the San Pedro Ranch that a number of lakes and ponds, covering a large area of the latter ranch, lying north and northwesterly of Wilmington, which to that date had been permanent, became dry a few years later. From 1825 to until January, 1867, the San Gabriel and Los Angeles Rivers united at appoint northerly from the dwelling house on the Cerritos Ranch, and flowing past the house on the west, emptied into the San Pedro estuary southwest of that dwelling house. The San Gabriel River, in the flood of 1867, left its bed at a point near where it struck the northern line of the Ranchito and cut a new waterway through the central part of that ranch and the Santa Gertrudes and Alamitos Ranchos to the sea.” p.15 Mexican American War- in August 1846, Fremont pushes up from San Diego into Los Angeles, and John Stockton lands at San Pedro with four hundred men and artillery. p.22 “The year 1847 hails the dawn of a new era for California – At the close of January,the authority of the United States was established throughout this territory.” From Kearny’s journal: January 8th- We left camp early. It was reported that the enemy would certainly give us a brush, as he had crossed the River San Gabriel in force, with three pieces of artillery. His scouts were hovering around all day. About two and a half p.m. we arrived at an Indian village near the River San Gabriel. There were more scouts. We formed a line of battle… January 9th- We encamped on the stream, two miles below the city, in which everything was quiet through the night. p.70 “This year [1873] iron pipes were first extensively used, instead of open ditches, in conducting water for irrigating purposes.” p.71 “In the Spring of 1875 the “Forest Grove Association” planted the first extensive tract of the Eucalyptus or blue gum, for timber.”  ;SBolton, Herbert Eugene Diaz, Juan Garcâes, Francisco Tomâas Hermenegildo Palâou, Francisco Font, Pedro Eixarch, Tomâas Moraga, Josâe Joaguâin1930Anza's California expeditionsIV5 vols.

It lacks only lime, which up to the present has not been found; but perhaps by careful search it will be found and will make possible the improvement of the buildings, which at present are partly adobe, but chiefly of logs and tule, and which for this reason are very insecure and exposed to fire (177).” “In the creek celery and other plants which look like lettuce, and some roots like parsnips, grow naturally; and nearby there are many turnips, which from a little seed which was scattered took possession of the land. And near the site of the old mission, which is distant from this new one about a league to the south, there is grownin great abundance of watercress, of which I ate liberally (178).” 3TCrespâi, Juan2001eA description of distant roads : original journals of the first expedition into California, 1769-1770 xv, 848 p.Brown, Alan K.

We set out from this spot, keeping on through this same level, course westward; we must have gone three leagues and a half and once more stopped on the same level, to the west, close to another little channel of water running in a low spot among very tall grass clumps. On going about two leagues we came across another stream with some running water, which must carry very large floods in season because of the great deal of sand it has on its banks. we came upon such a vast number of rose bushes that a large hundredweight [measure] could have been made up of the flowers that we saw open and blooming. From horseback, I plucked more than four dozen of them that came into my hands. The grapevines are countless in number, some of them with very large clusters. we twice came to woods so dense that oit was necessary for the soldiers to clear a way through the various sorts of trees, willows, grapevines, cumin, holythistles, and many other types of tall weeds, such that it is a vastly pleasant sight to see. There are vast numbers of antelope on this level; some twelve of them have been seen close by. Tracks of very large animals are seen, and droppings are foudn like those of cattle. Yesterday the soldiers on duty with the mounts saw far off something like a mule, which they said might have been an elk; whether elk or buffalo there is no telling for sure. They say that in the mountain range running along on the north, there are a great many bears." First Revision: "July 31st. We set out from here at the St. Michael bridge and stream, keeping on through this valley course westward, and were struck with wonder at seeing such lushness upon all sides. We came upon such a vast number of extremely lush rose bushes that a large hundredweight measure could have been made up merely with flowers that we saw opan and blooming. from horseback, I myself plucked more than four dozen of them that came into my hands, very pink and sweet smelling, without the slightest difference from those of Castile. the grapevines are countless in number, very lush, and twice we came to woods so dense it was necessary for the soldiers to clear a way through on account of the thiket of various sorts of trees, willow, very large grapevines entwined in the trees and bearing very large clusters, cumin, and holythistles, all of it very tall, and many other kinds of weeds and plants that we did not recognize, a vastly pleasnat sight to see. there are vast numbers of antelopes on this plain, travelling in large bands just as though they were goats. We have seen twleve of tem running from very near by. There are a great many hares. The heathens at Earthquake River [Santa Ana River] behind us and those belonging to the Santa Maria village say there are a great many bears in the very tall mountain range running along the north here. The soldiers have come across many tracks of very large animals and droppings like those of cattle,, throughout the valley here, and yesterday the men duty with the mounds saw a large beast like mule running afar off, so that so that theycoul not be sure what it might be. On going about two leagues over this plain, we came across another stream with a a good-sized bed and its little flow of water running in it. By the great deal of sand it has along its banks, it must, in season, carry very large floods." TJournal in Spanish and English on opposite pages; introduction and notes in English.?U E.C.

Eckmann Zinn1917-Soil Survey of the Pasadena Area, California 9United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Soils Government Printing Office  "The San Gabriel Valley is the most important agricultural section of the area. It consists of broad, occassionally dissected, alluvial fans that descend with decreasing slope and from the steeo and rugged mountains to the north and the Puente and San Jose Hills on the south and est toward the main channel of the San Gabriel River [...] the San Gabriel River drains most of the area [Pasadena] (6)." "Covina, with a population of 1,652, is situated in the center of the area. A large citrus-fruit district has been developed about this town. Puente, Elmonte (sic.), Savannah, and Walnut are the centers of grain, alfalfa, and truck [crop] producing districts of the area. Montrose, La Crescenta, and La Canada are small towns or rural communties in La canada Valley (8)." Climate Contains decription of the regions climate "subtropical and semiarid." "The Pasadena area is favored with a climate cuited to crops that are very sensitive to frost. Certain parts of the area are especially adapted to such plants. The broad foothill belt lying along the base of the San Gabriel Mountains is a noted thermal belt, and there are smaller, similar areas at the base of the low sedimentary hills. While freezes are not unknown here, the topography and slope tend to prevent their occurrence (9)." Agriculture "With the development of citrus-fruit growing and the extension of irrigation about 1870, viticulture began to wane, and at the present time it is an interest of minor importance [...] oranges are a much more important crop than lemons (11)." "Poultry raising and the production of eggs, frequently associated with the raising of hares, are carried on more or less extensively throughout the area, especially where the land is not well-adapted to cultivation (17)." Soils "The soils of the Pasadena area are classified in three large groups, namely, residual soils, soils derived from old valley-filling material, and soilsderived from recent-alluvial material. The soils in each of these groups are further separated into series and and series into soil types, the type being the unit in constructing the map (21)." "The soils derived from recent-alluvial valley filling consist of material transported by water at a comparatively recent date or, in some cases, still in the process of accumulation (23)." "The topography is that characteristic of alluvial fans. The drainage channels are not everywhere well established, especially farther out in the valley floor, and the soils are overflowed and eroded as a result of the heavy rains that occur periodically in the mountains and over the valleys (24)." The rest of the document documents a wealth of divergent soil types in the Pasadena area (ramona Clay Loam, Placentia Loam, Antioch Silty Clay Loam, Hanford Gravelly Sandy Loam, Hanford Fine Sand, etc.)  ;W William Hammond Hall1888$Irrigation in California [Southern] %California. Office of State Engineer.!California State Printing Office l"Along the southern edge of the Pasadna mesa, and thence in line easterly to the Santa Anita wash, a series of springs break out, forming cienegas, and artesian waters are obtained by boring. The irrigations from these sources, some of which are among the oldest and best known in southern California - extending through the Santa Anita rancho and into the neighborhood formerly so often spoken of as the San Gabriel Orange belt, are herein classed as the San Gabriel-Santa Anita Cienega irrigations [...] The sources of of supply (cienegas or groups of springs) are as follows: the Baldwin-Santa Anita, the Chapman, Rose-Sunny Slope, Titus, Foord, Winston, Shorb-San Marino, Wilson-San Gabriel, Wilson-Mission Canyon, Kewen-Molino, Oak Knoll, Stoneman-Los Robles, and Bacon-Marengo. From each of these sources a group of irrigations is supplied. The principal ones of which, in extent, are those from the Santa Anita, the Wilson, Stoneman, and Rose Cienegas (476)." Santa Anita Rancho The cienegas and well waters are collected by little open ditches, and in some cases by pipes, into sixteen or eighteen smal earth-embanked reservoirs, and are drawn thence and distributed, chiefly through cement pipes" to irrigate three miles long and a ile and a hald wide.

City of a Thousand Rivers: The Emergence of an Urban Ecosystem, 1884-1914 1884 flood elicits little outcry, b/c not a lot is affected – “currents spread harmlessly for miles across the plain (11).” Floods seen in 1862, 1867-68, 1881, 1886, 1889-91, with a large break until 1914, when LA really begins to develop, experiencing huge numbers of immigrants. Booster hyperbole about LA’s perfect climate. Railroads arrive in 1876, 1881, and 1886. Guinn’s “exceptional years”- thesis. The Harbor is “the most visible symbol of the urban boom (22).” Location promoted by Banning, who had established a port thirty years before- Southern Pacific wants it at Malibu. He is backed by entrepreneurial elite. “Plowed fields and orchards replaced the willows and grasses in the valleys and on the coastal plain (26).” Breakwater for the harbor prevents riparian sediment from moving to the ocean. Railroads, pavement, and removal of native vegetation (which loosens the soil and increased erosion. Flood of 1914 destroys Guinn’s “exceptional years” thesis. II. A Centralized Authority and a Comprehensive Plan: Response to the Floods, 1914-1917 Central flood authority called for after the 1914 flood. Influence of the Progressive era- mistrust of monopoly and belief in objective experts. Board of Supervisors appoints a five-member team to study the matter- they work alone, and one, Reagan is the most unorthodox, collects oral histories. The other four are more concerned with the ecology itself, advising small check dams in the mountains, and Reagan moves to have construction aimed at the areas of the river most affecting human settlement. Financial backing sought from the state – shift from localism. Effort is denied and the effort to form a central authority is taken up by the county in the form of the Los Angeles County Flood Control Association, in which acrimony develops between those in the city and those without. Their bills pass and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District is born with Reagan as the chief engineer. Reagan incorporates many of his downstream proposals but does include more inexpensive upstream measures- his plans lose the city vote but the support in the rest of the county approves his plan. Access to policy debates limited for nonexpert citizens. III. A Weir to do Man’s Bidding: The Great San Gabriel Dam Fiasco, 1917-1929 Plans for San Gabriel Dam in 1920s- 425 high walls, would eliminate floods, and store enough water to eliminate the impacts of drought. Project delayed for five years, after which “unstable rocks revealed both the faulty geology beneath the dam and the political corruption behind it (56).” Unbuildable dam becomes a huge scandal. Reagan’s idea since the 1910s. Increased prosperity brought about by increasing urbanization (b/c of Hollywood, tourism industry) makes the SG dam possible- drought aids Reagan’s cause w/ the voters, making it politically possible. Measure for $24 million SG dam and $10 million for ten smaller ones finds its way to the 1924 ballot and wins by a large margin. Instead of getting built, four years of infighting ensue (outside civil engineers point to weaknesses in the plan’s integrity and debates rage over location). Municipal League of LA opposes Reagan’s plan and supports Harvey Hincks’ plan for a cheaper dam at a different location. The fed forms the San Gabriel River Commission to resolve the dispute, and contemporaneously a referendum is put on the 1926 ballot- each have opposite outcomes. St Francis Dam fails just at the moment of resolution on the Santa Clara River b/c of faulty engineering. “The contractors had what was known as a front-balanced contract, meaning they had organized their bid in such way as to earn the bulk of their profit early in the construction process (70).” The project caves and state inspectors prohibit further construction. IV. A More Effective Scouring Agent: The New Year’s Eve Debris Flood and the Collapse of Local Flood Control, 1930-1934 1933 flood and mudslide kills forty people in La Cañada Valley. By the 1930s “with urban development, less water ponded and puddle and percolated into the ground. More water from a larger area flowed faster and took less time to concentrate (80).” Eaton’s comprehensive plan calls for the aborted San Gabriel Dam project to be split into two smaller dams were built as well as low dams with reservoirs (later known as flood basins) on the Valley Floor. Channels between the dams would be lined with concrete. Without the developed foothills of the 1930s, debris had not been a major issue in the 1910 reports. 1931 plan centers on the use of check dams- they were low cost and labor intensive (perfect for the Depression era). In the 1933 debris flood, hundreds of check dams failed. Parallel between 1914 and 1933 floods: “Debris smothered the La Cañada Valley on New Year’s Eve for substantially the same reasons that silt had choked the harbor in 1914 (91).” Though unlike the 1914 deluge, the 1933 incident spurned little immediate action. Pits from erstwhile gravel mining operations in Haines Valley Verdugo Wash (downstream from the Montrose) save Tujunga and Glendale, respectively spark the idea for debris basins (though they had been built before in Utah). Money was not forthcoming from the fed (b/c of tax provisions) or Depression-stricken voters. County responds instead with better firefighting. In the following three decades, the County teams up with USACE to remake the LA hydrological landscape, spending nearly $2 billion in the process. V. The Sun is Shining Over Southern California: The Politics of Federal Flood Control in Los Angeles, 1935-1969 Chamber of Commerce hires planners to make recommendations for flood control, then proceeds to suppress their recommendations for park development and restriction of urban growth. WPA gives the LA District of the Army Corps $14 million on 14 needed projects. 1/3 of LA’s flood control efforts fail in a March 1938 flood (which kills 49 people). Afterwards, the USACE quickly and efficiently turns the rivers into concrete. Mechanized methods of paving make the job technologically feasible by the 1950s. Build the Santa Fe and Whittier Narrows basins on the SGR- “when skies were clear, the rivers trickled through openings in these low, wide dams. During storms, dam operators closed the outlets, and the structures turned into giant funnels that captured the torrents and released only as much as the downstream channels could carry (113).” With the fed taking care of the most pressing issues, the county sets its sight on drainage to counter runoff problems- also a huge, long, and expensive job. The system is tested for the first time in 1965 and performs beautifully. The success of 1938-1969 due mainly to political and climatic clam- they simply implemented (with improvements) the plan of the 1930s. Political factors – protection of WWII and Cold War eras – helps to maintain consensus with the plan. Postwar controversy over the Whittier Narrows Flood Control Basin separates USACE and the town of El Monte – Richard Nixon brokers a deal in 1948. VI. Necessary but Not Sufficient: Storms, Environmentalism, and New Visions for Flood Control, 1969-2001 Thirteen inches of rain fall in a nine day span- far more than levels that had caused the 1914 and 1938 floods. Environmentalists’ challenge to flood control begins in 1960s and 70s, and faith in engineering project is shaken when the system nearly falters in 1978 and 1980 under fairly moderate storms. LA County Flood Control District’s 1969-1971 Biennial Report included environmentalism in flood control thinking for the first time. Residents in Sierra Madre protest and prevent USACE’s plans to channelize the Sierra Madre Wash with concrete. When money gets tight, the district does away with parks and landscaping first. 1978 and 80 floods show cracks in the putatively impermeable flood project- particularly the city of San Jacinto and Lake Elsinore resort. 1992 LA River Task Force makes recommendations based on a public meeting. Poet Lewis Macadams founds the Friends of the LA River in 1985, not arguing for total restoration of the river (b/c of its unfeasibility), but advocated putting bike paths on the levee tops, restoring vegetation and ponds in the concrete channels- MacAdams makes Angelenos aware that a river even exists. Rehabilitation of the Cornfield (an abandoned toxic area near Chinatown) one of the biggest successes of community redevelopment and environmentalist alliance- when city government plans an industrial park, area community groups and environmentalists use their connections to hold the landowner subject to a costly EIR, forcing them to sell to a conservancy group, which is considering plans such as a middle school, cultural organizations, a lake doubling as flood control, etc. “since the late 1990s, twenty one new parks have been built along the river (162).” “In 1969, only engineers concerned themselves with flood control. By 2002, the engineers were joined by environmentalists, neighborhood activists, landscape architects, teachers, artists, poets, state park officials, bicyclists, and soccer clubs. Technocratic flood control was starting to look a lot different (163).” Epilogue: The Historical Structure of Disorder: Urban Ecology in Los Angeles and Beyond Comparison of the confluence of many social, political, economic, and ecological factors in dealing with natural hazards not limited to Southern Cali- which can’t compare with the floods of larger US rivers. Human discomfort with unpredictability and chance (can you say “intelligent design”?) has been the driving force behind attempts to engineer nature. Valorization of the Cornfield model as a step towards “an ecological model of flood control (183).” O?ZGumprecht, Blake2001=The Los Angeles River : its life, death, and possible rebirth xii, 369 p.%Creating the North American landscape BaltimoreJohns Hopkins University PressJohns Hopkins paperbacksXLos Angeles River (Calif.)
