The map
pictured above is on display at the Wells Fargo
Museum in downtown Los Angles. An arrow points
to Rancho Las Bolsas, a portion of which is
currently known as the Bolsa Chica Ecological
Reserve. The map was compiled in 1889 as the Map
of Orange County California.
Rancho Las
Bolsas soon became the location of a men's
hunting club, the Bolsa Gun Club for shooting
wild game. Ironically, that same location
today serves as an ecological preserve for wild
and endangered birds.
