Grants of Land in California Made by Spanish Or Mexican Authorities
-::, » . .• f Grants of Land in California Made by Spanish or Mexican Authorities Prepared by the Staff of the State Lands Commission ----- -- -·- PREFACE This report was prepared by Cris Perez under direction of Lou Shafer. There were three main reasons for its preparation. First, it provides a convenient reference to patent data used by staff Boundary Officers and others who may find the information helpful. Secondly, this report provides a background for newer members who may be unfamiliar with Spanish and Mexican land grants and the general circumstances surrounding the transfer of land from Mexican to American dominion. Lastly, it provides sources for additional reading for those who may wish to study further. The report has not been reviewed by the Executive Staff of the Commission and has not been approved by the State Lands Commission. If there are any questions regarding this report, direct them to Cris Perez or myself at the Office of the State Lands Commission, 1807 - 13th Street, Sacramento, California 95814.

Steelhead were again seen at Utilities Commission (SFPUC) hoping to remove the the weir on March 3rd. On March 4th ACA volunteers seismically inadequate dam and have the rebuilt dam and the East Bay Parks biologist, with cooperation completed and operational by 2011. The ACA, from the Alameda County Water District and Alameda concerned that fish restoration elements are being County Flood Control District, helped rescue two adult left out of the project while engineering plans move males from below the BART weir and move them rapidly forward, asked the SFPUC in December to upstream into Niles Canyon. One of the fish, given the revise the project to include steelhead and stream name “Brutus”, was the largest steelhead documented restoration elements. Although the SFPUC declined yet in the creek, weighing 11 pounds and measuring to change the project description before approving 31 inches. -

Task 1: Compilation of Existing Map and Trench Data (Year 1)
FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT DIGITAL COMPILATION OF NORTHERN CALAVERAS FAULT DATA FOR THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA MAP DATABASE: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH WITH WILLIAM LETTIS & ASSOCIATES, INC., AND THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Recipient: William Lettis & Associates, Inc. 1777 Botelho Drive, Suite 262 Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Principal Investigators: Keith I. Kelson and Sean T. Sundermann William Lettis & Associates, Inc., 1777 Botelho Dr., Suite 262, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (tel: 925-256-6070; fax: 925-256-6076; email: [email protected]) Program Element: Priority III: Construction of a Community Quaternary Fault Database U. S. Geological Survey National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Award Number 05HQGR0023 October 2007 Research supported by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior, under USGS award number 05HQGR0023. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government. ABSTRACT This study presents a new digital map compilation of fault traces along the Northern Calaveras fault in the eastern San Francisco Bay region. The work described herein is part of a collaborative effort between private and academic geologists and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to construct a Quaternary fault map and database for the San Francisco Bay area. The goal of this study is to compile geologic data on the active Northern Calaveras fault in a digital format for the Northern California Quaternary Fault Map Database (NCQFMD). This new compilation of fault traces revises and builds upon previous work between Calaveras Reservoir on the south and the town of Danville on the north. -
Historical Status of Coho Salmon in Streams of the Urbanized San Francisco Estuary, California
CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME California Fish and Game 91(4):219-254 2005 HISTORICAL STATUS OF COHO SALMON IN STREAMS OF THE URBANIZED SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY, CALIFORNIA ROBERT A. LEIDY1 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94105 [email protected] and GORDON BECKER Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration 4179 Piedmont Avenue, Suite 325 Oakland, CA 94611 [email protected] and BRETT N. HARVEY Graduate Group in Ecology University of California Davis, CA 95616 1Corresponding author ABSTRACT The historical status of coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, was assessed in 65 watersheds surrounding the San Francisco Estuary, California. We reviewed published literature, unpublished reports, field notes, and specimens housed at museum and university collections and public agency files. In watersheds for which we found historical information for the occurrence of coho salmon, we developed a matrix of five environmental indicators to assess the probability that a stream supported habitat suitable for coho salmon. We found evidence that at least 4 of 65 Estuary watersheds (6%) historically supported coho salmon. A minimum of an additional 11 watersheds (17%) may also have supported coho salmon, but evidence is inconclusive. Coho salmon were last documented from an Estuary stream in the early-to-mid 1980s. Although broadly distributed, the environmental characteristics of streams known historically to contain coho salmon shared several characteristics. In the Estuary, coho salmon typically were members of three-to-six species assemblages of native fishes, including Pacific lamprey, Lampetra tridentata, steelhead, Oncorhynchus mykiss, California roach, Lavinia symmetricus, juvenile Sacramento sucker, Catostomus occidentalis, threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, riffle sculpin, Cottus gulosus, prickly sculpin, Cottus asper, and/or tidewater goby, Eucyclogobius newberryi. -
Index of Surface-Water Records
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 72 January 1950 INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS PART 11.PPACIFIC SLOPE BASINS IN CALIFORNIA TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1948 Prepared by San Francisco District UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Oscar L. Chapman, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY W. E. Wrather, Director WASHINGTON, D. C. Free on application to the Director, Geological Survey, Washington 26, D. C. INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS PART 11.PPACIFIC SLOPE BASINS IN CALIFORNIA TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1948 EXPLANATION The index lists the stream-flow ana reservoir stations in the Pacific Slope Basins in California for which records have been or are to be pub lished for periods prior to September 30, 1948. The stations are listed in downstream order. Tributary streams are indicated by indention. Station names are given in their most recently published forms. Paren theses around part of a station name indicate that the enclosed word or words were used in an earlier published name of the station or in a name under which records were published by some agency other than the Geological Survey. The drainage areas, in square miles, are the latest figures published or otherwise available at this time. Drainage areas that were obviously inconsistent with other drainage areas on the same stream have been omitted. Some drainage areas not published by the Geological Survey are listed with an appropriate footnote stating the published source of the figure of drainage area. Under "period of record" breaks of less than a 12-month period are not shown. A dash not followed immediately by a closing date shows that the station was in operation on September 30, 1948. -
