Map showing areas of lands now owned by E. L. Mayberry / surveyed by Wright & Nicholson

1 of 4
Description
Depicts Mayberry's lots bounded by the San Pasqual Rancho, Rancho Huerta de Cuati, and Pasqualito Rancho with a focus on the water source of the Cañada de Molino (or El Molino Canyon, now called Kewen Canyon), the location of wells, a reservoir, and Lake Vineyard. The map contains a key that classifies the amount and type of cultivated acreage contained within Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 of Mayberry's property. The map also depicts the location of Mayberry's house and the "old mill" (also known as El Molino Viejo) and the location of cultivated land devoted to vines, alfalfa, grain, walnuts, lemons, oranges, grain, pears, and the length of time (in years) of cultivation. One of three hand-drawn survey maps representing a San Marino, California property as purchased and developed by Edward L. Mayberry (1834-1902) between 1880 and 1900. One of the two maps used as evidence in an 1895 lawsuit over water rights between Mayberry and the Alhambra Addition Water Company. The other map used in the lawsuit is mssHM 83404b, dated 1887. The three maps document the remnants of the Molino Canyon mission water system, agricultural activity in San Marino before 20th-century residential subdividing, and evidence of the area before Henry Huntington purchased a large portion of it.
