Three 19th-century maps of San Marino, California, showing local water routes, especially El Molino (now Kewen) Canyon
Manuscripts
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. Two of the maps (dated 1887 and 1894) were used as evidence in an 1895 lawsuit over water rights between Mayberry and the Alhambra Addition Water Company. 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.
