 St.
Francisquito Dam
St. Francis Dam (right), with water in the reservoir, sometime between
the dam's completion in May 1926 and its failure on March 12, 1928. Construction
on the 600-foot-long, 185-foot-high St. Francis Dam started in August 1924.
With a 12.5 billion-gallon capacity, the reservoir began to fill with water
on March 1, 1926. On March 12, 1928, the dam failed, sending a 180-foot-high
wall of water crashing down San Francisquito Canyon. An estimated 470 people
lay dead by the time the floodwaters reached the Pacific Ocean south of
Ventura 5 1/2 hours later.
The raging, muddy torrent did not discrimiate among homes, cars, giant
oak trees or anything else that stood in the way. It was the second-worst
disaster in California history, after the great San Francisco earthquake
and fire of 1906, in terms of lives lost.
 Walker
Cabin
The historic Walker Cabin, built by Frank Walker around 1920, is located
within the Placerita Canyon Natural Area. The cabin served as the family's

house they built further up the canyon. Walker Cabin has been fully restored
and refurnished and provides visitors with a sense of what life was like
in Placerita Canyon for this pioneering family. For further information
about the Walker Cabin, please call the Placerita Canyon Nature Center at
(661) 259-7721 or visit the Center's web site at www.placerita.org.
 Oak
of the Golden Dream
The area around the Oak of the Golden Dream is said to be the location
where Francisco Lopez made California's first authenticated gold discovery
on March 9, 1842. While gathering wild onions near the tree in Placerita
Canyon, he found gold particles clinging to the roots of the bulbs. Many
gold seekers came up from Sonora, Mexico in the Spring of 1842 and used
panning, sluicing and dry washing methods to extract gold from the sand
and gravel in the canyon. Lopez's find predated James Marshall's strike
at Sutter's Mill by six years.
Santa Clarita Valley has many historical sites to visit. For more detailed
information or to learn more about our history, visit the Santa
Clarita Historical Society or www.scvleon.com websites.
 Vasquez
Rocks

Valley Freeway (SR-14) is a 750-acre reserve that once served as a hideout
for outlaw Tiburcio Vasquez, and was a shelter for the Tatavian Indians.

for many films and commercials. Rock climbing is the primary sport, but
