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 second home in the area for about 10 years, until they moved into a larger 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.

Vasquez Rocks
