Mission Creek

Mission Creek (from Spanish: misión) is a river in San Francisco, California. Once navigable from the Mission Bay inland to the vicinity of Mission Dolores, where several smaller creeks converged to form it, Mission Creek has long since been largely culverted. Its only remaining portion above-ground is the Mission Creek Channel which drains into China Basin. The two Ramaytush Indian villages of Chutchui and Sitlintac were located on Mission Creek. Background The Spanish named the waterway, Arroyo de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, in English, "Our Lady of Sorrows Creek." Its Spanish dedication to Señora de los Dolores eventually gave the Mission San Francisco de Asís founded near its source, its alternate informal name, Mission Dolores. Declared by the state legislature in 1854 to be a navigable stream, it retains the designation today, even though most of it was vacated for use by boats in 1874 and later filled in. Soil liquefaction, such as that which killed numerous people in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, has been known to occur along buried portions of the creek. The China Basin Building was erected on the creek's north bank in the 1920s and used for off-loading and processing bananas through the 1950s. In the 1970s it was known as the Del Monte Building and used as a food distribution site by the Hearst family in response to the demands of the SLA. A community of house boats has existed along the creek's south bank since 1960 when the state of California moved the houseboat community there from Islais Creek to make way for merchant ship trading. The mouth of Mission Creek has been known to Major League Baseball fans as McCovey Cove ever since the year 2000 when the San Francisco Giants relocated from their former home at Candlestick Park to Oracle Park on the creek's north bank. Balls hit over the right field wall splash-land in the water there. Lake Dolores The Laguna Dolores was fed by the creek. It was the site of the original Mission Dolores, and probably stretched between Mission Street and Valencia, and 20th and 16th streets before being filled in with sand.

Students who meet all the program's academic benchmarks and the financial need criteria, as determined by CSUSM, may receive monetary assistance from a private foundation associated with the Promise while attending the university. Improving college options for this generation of students, the Promise provides dynamic, accelerated services which include tutoring and mentoring, visits to the university campus, enhanced test preparation for English and math entry-level exams, and extensive information regarding college preparation and admission. The Promise thus provides a vital link from the secondary school setting to the university.

Misión Nuestra Señora de la Soledad

La misión Nuestra Señora de la Soledad se encuentra ubicada en la ciudad de Soledad, condado de Monterrey, California, Estados Unidos. Fue la decimotercera de las veintiún misiones establecidas por la Orden Franciscana en el estado de California. Historia La misión se fundó el 9 de octubre de 1791 por el padre Fermín Lasuen, cerca de la villa Chuttusgelis de los nativos esselen, con el propósito de servir de punto intermedio entre las misiones de San Antonio de Padua y San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo. La construcción se erigió con ladrillos de adobe. Las condiciones climáticas del lugar eran difíciles, con vientos muy fuertes y el agua muy fría. De hecho, los frailes de la comunidad llegaron a padecer de reumatismo, pero gracias a la asistencia de los nativos, los religiosos trataron sus dolencias en pozos de agua mineral. Además, a partir de 1797 una sequía asoló la región, que también coincidió con la administración del padre Diego García quien era acusado de abusos sobre los neófitos o indios conversos.​ En 1804 habitaban en la misión 687 personas, el mayor número registrado en Nuestra Señora de la Soledad.​ Para el año 1810, el complejo fue completado. Los edificios comprendían iglesia, capilla, cuatro graneros, molino, fábrica de queso, habitaciones para las mujeres solteras, religiosos y neófitos o indios conversos, botica, y taller de zapatero, entre otros. Se estima que la misión llegó a especializarse en la producción de lana y tejeduría. Además había viñedo, huerto frutal, y animales de crianza que abarcaban alrededor de cinco mil ovejas, 600 caballos y 6 mil cabezas de ganado. Tres ranchos estaban asentados en el territorio: San Lorenzo, San Vicente y San Fernando, y existía un acueducto de quince millas de longitud que abastecía de agua desde el río Arroyo Seco.​ Sin embargo, las inundaciones de los años 1824, 1828, y 1832 terminaron dañando toda la propiedad. Con la secularización del estado mexicano, la misión cayó en abandono y los inmuebles acabaron destruidos. En 1845 el gobernador Pío de Jesús Pico vendió las tierras en 800 dólares a Feliciano Soberanes, pero en 1859 el gobierno estadounidense las devolvió a la Iglesia católica. Del esplendor de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad sobreviven el ala sur y la capilla, que fue restaurada en los años 1950; aparte de las paredes en ruinas y las tumbas de personajes destacados como la del padre Ibáñez, uno de los administradores del lugar, y la del primer gobernador de la Alta California, José Joaquín de Arrillaga. Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX ciertos edificios han sido sometidos a reconstrucción, así como ha habido estudios de arqueología en el sector.​ Referencias

Diese lauten West Fortuna, East Fortuna, Mission Gorge, Cowles Mountain und Lake Murray. Flora und Fauna Die Vegetation des Parks besteht überwiegend aus Chaparral, Uferzonen und Graslandschaften. Im Park wachsen unter anderem Rosengewächse, Flieder, Eiche, Vogelbeeren sowie Mahagonigewächse. Des Weiteren findet man den kalifornischen Beifuß, schwarzen Salbei, Sumachgewächse (z. B.

Die ersten Einwohner dieses Bereichs waren die Kumeyaay, welche Kleinwildjäger und Sammler waren. Sie lebten bis zum Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts in diesem Gebiet. Nach Ankunft der Spanier und der Gründung der Mission San Diego wurde im heutigen Gebiet des Parks der Old Mission Dam aus Zement und Grundgestein gebaut, der zur Wasserversorgung der Mission diente. Der Damm wurde 1815 fertiggestellt. Nach der Besiedlung des Westens der USA waren auf dem Gebiet mehrere Farmen, die unter anderem Obst, Oliven, Wein, Getreide sowie Kartoffeln anbauten. Während des 1. Weltkrieges bis zum Koreakrieg befand sich auf einem Teilgebiet des Parks ein Übungsplatz des US-Militärs. Weblinks Website des Mission Trails Regional Park (englisch) Einzelnachweise

Modoc National Forest

Modoc National Forest is a 1,654,392-acre (6,695 km2) U.S. national forest in Northeastern California. Geography The Modoc National Forest protects parts of Modoc (82.9% of acreage), Lassen (9.4%), and Siskiyou (7.7%) counties. Most of the forest was covered by immense lava flows occurring over the last 500,000 years. The eastern part of the forest east of Alturas contains the Warner Mountains. The Warner Mountains drop steeply on the eastern slopes, whereas the western flank has a more gentle topography. Ecology Due to the elevation and precipitation differences, the forests hosts a large number of plant species. The western side of the brushy foothills consist mostly of bitterbrush and curl-leaf mahogany. As elevation increases, forests of ponderosa pine, white and red firs, incense cedar, and aspen give way to lodgepole and western white pines sprinkle towards the summit. Some 43,400 acres (176 km2) of the forest have been identified as old growth, with lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, white fir, incense cedar, and red fir being common constituents. History Modoc National Forest was established as the Modoc Forest Reserve on November 29, 1904, by the United States General Land Office. It was named for the Modoc people who traditionally had their territory in this area. In 1905 federal forests were transferred to the U.S. Forest Service, and on March 4, 1907, they became National Forests. On July 1, 1908 Warner Mountains National Forest was added to Modoc. The South Warner Wilderness lies within the forest. Management Forest headquarters are located in Alturas, California. There are local ranger district offices located in Adin, Alturas, Cedarville, and Tulelake.
