Adjacent: Ranchos Santa Gertrudes, Bartolo. Hachures, color highlighting; parcel owners: L. Dorami, Fr. Pollareno, Jose Sanchez, Juan Corrales, J.M. Ramirez & corresponding acreage. ; [This clearly is mislabeled, and does not appear to be in the sections indicated in R. 11 W. either. ; One would need to check further in record books of deeds at USC to see where these parcels are. ; The collection does not appear to have the fieldbooks for these surveys (two of them: 11/28-28/1862; Ramirez, 8/26/1863). ; Perhaps they are in one of the seven fieldbooks at UCLA.]. Title supplied by cataloger.
