PURPOSE AND NEED A. INTRODUCTION The communities of Lenwood and Grandview are part of an unincorporated area within the sphere of influence of the City of Barstow in San Bernardino County, California. These communities are immediately adjacent to the corporate limits of Barstow. “Lenwood” and “Grandview” are not legal entities; they are the names by which the general areas they refer to are locally known. As such, they do not have hard-and-fast boundaries. “Lenwood” is generally considered to be the area south of the Burlington National Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad tracks that run parallel to Route 66, or National Trails Highway. “Grandview” is generally considered to be the area north of the BNSF railroad tracks which run parallel to the National Trails Highway. High Desert Estates (HDE) is a type-B mobile home park development that is usually locally referred to as part of “Grandview.” Its name was given by the original developer. Figures 1 and 2 show the project area regionally and the specific proposed assessment district location. According to the 1990 Census, the Lenwood/Grandview area had 1,039 deeded lots, including 205 deeded lots in High Desert Estates. These properties, excluding the High Desert Estates, are currently on septic tanks, and the proposed project will extend sewer lines to these lots to replace the failing septic system in these communities. One Lenwood lot is already connected to the Barstow city sewer system, and 35 of the 834 Lenwood lots are adjacent parcels, owned by the same owner, with one dwelling straddling both. A total of 599 developed parcels will be immediately connected in Lenwood. The remaining 199 parcels will be provided with a lateral connection to the property line for sewer service when developed. Thus, all affected parcels in the Lenwood area will be served by the sewer system upon the completion of this project. Median household income for this area was $27,222 in 1990. The Lenwood community

In fact, while occupation derstand their relationship with the larger and better known Moun- tain Serrano sociopolitical entity and to illuminate their unique of the Mojave River region by territorially based clan adaptation to the Mojave River and surrounding areas. In this effort communities of the Desert Serrano had ceased before new interpretations of recent and older data sets are employed. 1850, there were survivors of this group who had Kroeber proposed linguistic and cultural relationships between the been born in the desert still living at the close of the inhabitants of the Mojave River, whom he called the Vanyumé, and the Mountain Serrano living along the southern edge of the Mojave nineteenth century, as was later reported by Kroeber Desert, but the nature of those relationships was unclear. New (1959:299; also see Earle 2005:24–26). evidence on the political geography and social organization of this riverine group clarifies that they and the Mountain Serrano belonged to the same ethnic group, although the adaptation of the Desert For these reasons we attempt an “ethnography” of the Serrano was focused on riverine and desert resources. Unlike the Desert Serrano living along the Mojave River so that Mountain Serrano, the Desert Serrano participated in the exchange their place in the cultural milieu of southern Califor- system between California and the Southwest that passed through the territory of the Mojave on the Colorado River and cooperated nia can be better understood and appreciated.

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SAND AND GRAVEL RESOURCES OF THE SAN BERNARDINO NATIONAL FOREST, CALIFORNIA SUMMARY PAMPHLET TO ACCOMPANY GEOLOGIC MAP By R.C. Greene and J.P. Calzia OPEN-FILE REPORT 95-535 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California 1995 ABSTRACT The San Bernardino National Forest is located in the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and San Jacinto Mountains in southern California. Bedrock in these ranges consists principally of gneiss, schist, and granitic rocks with minor quartzite and limestone. Unconsolidated and semi-consolidated surficial deposits of Quaternary age overlie the bedrock and contain abundant sand and gravel resources. The principal types of sand and gravel resources include stream deposits, alluvial fans, glacial and glaciofluvial deposits, beach and dune deposits, and pre-Quaternary marine deposits that accumulated on continental shelves. Sand and gravel resources in stream, alluvial fan, and pre- Quaternary marine deposits are abundant in the San Bernardino National Forest and vicinity. Field investigations suggest that the Lytle Creek area in the San Gabriel Mountains, the Cajon Canyon to Cajon Pass, upper Santa Ana River, Smarts Ranch, and Silverwood Lake areas in the San Bernardino Mountains, and the San Jacinto River area in the San Jacinto Mountains have high potential for sand and gravel resources in the San Bernardino National Forest.
