“I once had a Mexican vaquero whose father … “I once had a Mexican vaquero whose father had lived here all his life who said that all of the valley…was one tangle of marsh willows, larch, blackberry vine and other tangled undergrowth that was impenetrable…there were only or two trails across the valley and they were not safe for two reasons: on account of the undergrowth and bogs, and there were bears in the tangled jungle. On both sides of Los Cerritos and further up in the valley there were a great many springs in the side hills and peat bogs. They were surrounded by tules, willows and other brambles. As the country became more settled and wells were sunk in the upper land, there was less water and the springs flowed less and less until in the final attempt to drain the land, they used tile drains and the springs disappeared.” tile drains and the springs disappeared.”
