  • 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).

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Proclamation 9396—Establishment of the Sand to Snow National Monument February 12, 2016
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Proclamation 9396—Establishment of the Sand to Snow National Monument February 12, 2016 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Sand to Snow area of southern California is an ecological and cultural treasure, a microcosm of the great geographic diversity of the region. Rising from the floor of the Sonoran Desert to the tallest peak in southern California, the area features a remarkable diversity of plant and animal species. The area includes a portion of the San Bernardino National Forest and connects this area with Joshua Tree National Park to the east, knitting together a mosaic of spectacular landscapes stretching over 200 miles. The mountain peaks of the Sand to Snow area frame the northeastern reach of Coachella Valley along with the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument to the south. Home to desert oases at Big Morongo Canyon and Whitewater Canyon, the area serves as a refuge for desert dwelling animals and a stopover for migrating birds. The archaeological riches of the Black Lava Buttes and the historical remains of mining and ranching communities tell of past prosperity and struggle in this arid land. The unbroken expanse is an invaluable treasure for our Nation and will continue to serve as an irreplaceable resource for archaeologists, geologists, and biologists for generations to come. The Sand to Snow area encompasses a rich diversity of geological and ecological resources, including a nearly 10,000-foot elevation gradient from the Sonoran Desert floor to the top of the 11,500-foot San Gorgonio Mountain, the highest mountain in southern California.
