  • 1 Chloe Sutkowski Pellissier Ranch Remote Sensing Investigation Abstract Pellissier Ranch in Riverside, CA Is a Potential Restin
    Chloe Sutkowski Pellissier Ranch Remote Sensing Investigation Abstract Pellissier Ranch in Riverside, CA is a potential resting place of artifacts from the Inland Empire’s first settlement, La Placita de Los Trujillos. The Great Flood of the Santa Ana River in 1862 washed away the entire settlement in a single night. Geophysical surveys are being employed at the site to non-invasively search the subsurface for buried artifacts. As Pellissier Ranch covers an immense area, remote sensing will be employed to narrow the search area to locations that would be likely deposit locations from the overwhelmed river. Digital Elevation Models were acquired from the USGS and used to derive raster datasets of slope, contour lines, flow direction, and flow accumulation. From the combined analysis of the three datasets, it is likely that the northeast portion of the site experienced the least force from the overwhelmed Santa Ana River and is best to prioritize in the search for buried artifacts. Introduction Pellissier Ranch is currently a vacant lot covered in tall grasses year-round. The northern half is in San Bernardino County, and the southern half in Riverside County. The most recent owner had been Antoine Pellissier, who purchased the land in 1905 and developed it as a vineyard. Shortly after, the dry laws came into effect and it ruined Pellissier’s business, forcing him to abandon the land as it has remained until present day. Before it came into his possession, it belonged to the Inland Empire’s first settlers and was known as La Placita de Los Trujillos (La Placita).
