  • Wait! Aren't We Part of the San Gabriel Mountains?
    Wait! Aren’t We Part of the San Gabriel Mountains? A very strange and mysterious thing happened on Friday, October 10, 2014, when President Obama announced the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Suddenly a gaping hole was cut into the Angeles National Forest, and areas like the Arroyo Seco, Tujunga, and the mountain watershed of the Los Angeles River were excised from the map delineating the new national monu- ment. Until the final announcement, the Arroyo Seco and the other stretches of the front range of the San Gabriel Mountains in the southwest corner of the Angeles National Forest all the way from Azusa to Sylmar in the San Fernando Valley were included in the advance maps and description of the monument. This is the portion of the Angeles National Forest that is closest to dense urban popula- tions and is heavily-used. It has also been the site just five years ago of the worst fire in Los Angeles County history, compounded by a major flood the next year. For this area, long-neglected by the US Forest Service, the map of the Map published in San Gabriel Valley newspapers prior to San Gabriel Mountains National dedication ceremony Monument certainly does not represent the “geography of hope” that President Obama promised on Friday. On Thursday, October 9, just the day before the presidential an- nouncement, this is the map that was published in San Gabriel Val- ley newspapers. But the official map that was re- leased on Friday is found on the next page. The strange shape of the territory of the national monument be- comes all the more bewildering Official Boundaries of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and egregious when a viewer reviews the map of the Station Fire in 2009, the largest fire in the his- tory of Southern California.
