Restoration activities were initiated in 2004 and nearly 400 acres have been transformed from a trash dump filled with hobo camps into a mosaic of marsh, mesquite, cottonwood, and willows which provide habitat for an array of wildlife species. A few of the most notable species discovered since the East Wetlands was created include the 1 endangered Ridgway’s Rail (Yuma Clapper Rail), and the presence and successful breeding of the endangered Yellow-Billed Cuckoo.

  • THE EXPLORERS by Richard F. Pourade CHAPTER ONE: BEFORE
    THE EXPLORERS By Richard F. Pourade CHAPTER ONE: BEFORE THE EXPLORERS San Diego was a well populated area before the first Spanish explorers arrived. The climate was wetter and perhaps warmer, and the land more wooded than now. The remnant of a great inland lake covered most of Imperial Valley. The San Diego River wandered back and forth over the broad delta it had formed between Point Loma and Old Town, alternately emptying into Mission Bay and San Diego Bay. The natural food supply was so abundant that the state as a whole supported an Indian population far greater than any equal area in the United States. The native population of the southern counties alone must have been at least 10,000. The early maps made of San Diego Bay by the Spanish explorers show the same general configuration as of today, except, of course, for the many changes in the shoreline made by dredging and filling in recent years. The maps, crudely drawn without proper surveys, vary considerably in detail. Thousands of years ago, in the late part of the Ice Age, Point Loma was an island, as were Coronado and North Island. Coronado used to be known as South Island. There was no bay, as we think of it now. A slightly curving coastline was protected by the three islands, of which, of course, Point Loma was by far the largest. What we now know as Crown Point in Mission Bay was a small peninsula projecting into the ocean. On the mainland, the San Diego and Linda Vista mesas were one continuous land mass.

  • Once-Rugged Old Spanish Trail Celebrates 90Th Year Yuma
    Local News Once-rugged Old Spanish Trail celebrates 90th year BY PAM M. SMITH, SUN STAFF WRITER Dec 9, 2005 Today is the 90th birthday of the Old Spanish Trail, a route that opened the way for cross-country vehicular traffic — with some help from Yuma's Ocean-to-Ocean Bridge. The Old Spanish Trail started in Mobile, Ala., Dec. 10, 1915, as the shortest vehicle route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, said John W. Murphey, a historian with the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs Historic Preservation Division, in a telephone interview with The Sun. "Its route wound through several states, a path for the old Highway 80 — today's Interstates 8 and 10," Murphey said. The Ocean-to-Ocean Bridge, crossing from Arizona into California, was the last bridge on the southern Old Spanish Trail route. It was dedicated in 1915, a few months prior to the beginning of the trail itself. The 20th century automobile route was actually the second of two Old Spanish Trails. The first, dating back to the early 1800s, started in Santa Fe, N.M., and went north into Colorado, west through Utah, then southwest in Nevada, through the Mojave desert and into Los Angeles. The original Old Spanish Trail had been used by Native Americans and various explorers and traders before the modern highway route was opened. That highway route — the one celebrating its birthday today — was envisioned as a means for tourists to see Florida towns, go through Mobile and continue on their way west. During a convention in Mobile, 419 delegates from Alabama, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona created the future highway.

  • 2016 PEIR, Draft December 2015
    3.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES This section of the Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) describes cultural resources in the SCAG region, discusses the potential impacts of the proposed 2016 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (“2016 RTP/SCS,” “Plan,” or “Project”) on cultural resources, identifies mitigation measures for the impacts, and evaluates the residual impacts. Cultural resources were evaluated in accordance with Appendix G of the 2015 State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Cultural resources within the SCAG region were evaluated at a programmatic level of detail, in relation to the general plans of the six counties and 191 cities within the SCAG region; review of general information characterizing the paleontological resources that have been reported from the SCAG region and review of Dibblee maps of geology and soils; general information characterizing prehistoric and historic human occupation within the SCAG region; general sensitivity of the SCAG region with respect to Native American Sacred sites and tribal cultural resources available through coordination with the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) and direct outreach to tribal governments within the SCAG region, including two Native American consultation workshops hosted by SCAG during preparation of the 2016 RTP/SCS and related PEIR; and review of known cemeteries in the SCAG region; a review of related literature germane to the SCAG region; as well as a review of SCAG’s 2012 RTP/SCS PEIR.1 Cultural resources within the SCAG region are recorded in the paleontological fossils; archeological sites and artifacts, historic sites, artifacts, structures and buildings; and the built environment. There is a rich record of archived fossils that are estimated to represent over 500 million years.2 The archaeological record provides evidence of over thousands of years of human occupation.

The original study employed 1945 as a cut-off date. This study inventories and evaluates all of the pre-1964 vehicular bridges and grade separations currently maintained in ADOT’s Structure Inventory and Appraisal [SI&A] listing. It includes all structures of all struc- tural types in current use on the state, county and city road systems. Additionally it includes bridges on selected federal lands (e.g., National Forests, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base) that have been included in the SI&A list. Generally not included are railroad bridges other than highway underpasses; structures maintained by federal agencies (e.g., National Park Service) other than those included in the SI&A; structures in private ownership; and structures that have been dismantled or permanently closed to vehicular traffic. There are exceptions to this, however, and several abandoned and/or privately owned structures of particular impor- tance have been included at the discretion of the consultant. The bridges included in this Inventory have not been evaluated as parts of larger road structures or historic highway districts, although they are clearly integral parts of larger highway resources.
