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.
