;^74 HISTORY OF PASADENA. 



range are beyond the Arroyo Seco; and hence, not being within the borders 

 of Pasadenaland, are not matters for record in this vokime. 



Hodge's Peak. — Looking across the Arroyo to the great hills back of 

 lyinda Vista, the most conspicuous one northward is on a 45-acre tract which 

 Dr. J. S. Hodge purchased from J. D. Yocum in 1888, and built a wagon 

 road twelve feet wide to its summit. This site is 1,800 feet above sea level ; 

 there is a well on it ten feet deep which yields water not less than two feet 

 in depth even in the dryest time of the year ; the view from here has free 

 scope east and west, and from mountain to sea — a landscape of more sur- 

 passing extent and grandeur than from any other point accessible by car- 

 riage road. 



Linda Vista Peak. — This is the next highest point south and a little 

 west from Hodge's peak, and back of Linda Vista. There is a bridle road 

 to its summit ; and it was in the east slope of this sub-mountain that some 

 gold mining was done by J. W. Wilson and son in 1887. 



Jumbo Knob. — This is the great, bold terminal knob of the Linda 

 Vista crescent of hills, which juts out toward the Arroyo Seco, opposite 

 reservoir hill on Orange Grove Avenue. It was so named in 1884, from a 

 fancied resemblance to the head of Barnum's famous and historic but ill- 

 fated monster elephant, Jumbo — the protruded ridge in front representing 

 his trunk reaching down for water. 



Buzzard Cliff. — This was a jutting spur or crag of the San Rafael 

 hills, and the Scoville road now winds across its terminal point. In the early 

 days this was a notable roosting and nesting place for turkey buzzards ; and 

 I remember of once, in 1884, counting twenty-seven of these scavenger 

 birds circling around and over it at one time. 



CANYONS, WATERFALLS, ETC. 



The Glacial Terrace Canyons. — From Raymond Hill eastward to 

 San Marino there is a line of bluffs, perfectly corrugated with small canyons 

 which are perennial water courses, and all of them have historic association 

 with the days and doings of the San Gabriel Mission regime. For reasons 

 fully set forth in the chapters on Geology, Hydrology, and Prehistoric Man 

 in Pasadena, I designate this line of bluffs (and also westward to Columbia 

 Hill) as the "Glacial Terrace." The Garfias spring, Ed Baker's spring, 

 and others on the Arroyo Seco, are parts of the same general system of glacial 

 terrace leak-spots ; but those from Raymond to San Marino form a distinct- 

 ive and characteristic group. 



Raymond Canyon. — The Raymond brook from the springs near Ray- 

 mond station on the Santa Fe railroad flows down this canyon, and finally 

 makes a great, troublesome outwash on the line between the Raymond Im- 

 provement Co. 's land and the Gov. Stoneman place. During the Spanish 

 or Mexican occupancy, this stream and outwash were known as the "Ar-
