Proclamation 9194 of October 10, 2014 

Establishment of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument 

By the President of the United States of America 

A Proclamation 

Known as the crown to the Valley of Angels, the peaks of the San Gabriel 

Mountains frame the Los Angeles skyline. Over 15 million people live 

within 90 minutes of this island of green, which provides 70 percent of 

the open space for Angelenos and 30 percent of their drinking water. Millions 

recreate and rejuvenate in the San Gabriels each year, seeking out their 

cool streams and canyons during the hot summer months, their snowcapped 

mountains in the winter, and their trail system and historic sites throughout 

the year. 

The San Gabriels are some of the steepest and most rugged mountains 

in the United States. Situated adjacent to the mighty San Andreas Fault, 

the mountains are geologically active, migrating northwest at an average 

of 2 inches each year. Deep canyons, many with precious perennial streams, 

score the mountain peaks—north toward the arid Mojave Desert and south 

to the temperate San Gabriel Valley. 

The rich cultural history of these mountains echoes their striking geologic 

features and ecological diversity. Cultural resources represent successive 

layers of history, including that of Native Americans, Spanish missionaries 

and colonialists, Mexican rancheros, and Euro-American settlers and prospectors. Native American history runs deep, at least 8,000 years, exemplified 

by the Aliso-Arrastre Special Interest Area known for its heritage resource 

values, including several rock art and cupules features, the concentration 

of which is unique to southern California. Due to urban development and 

natural processes, this area also contains the best preserved example of 

a Gabrielino pictograph that characterizes the California Tradition of rock 

painting. 

Early European explorers’ use of the area consisted mainly of early explorers 

traveling through the area. Over time, land grants, Spanish missions, and 

townsites surrounded the mountains, relying heavily on them for water, 

building supplies, and game. 

By the 1840s, gold prospectors poured into the mountains. Large placer 

and lode mining operations were established in the San Gabriels, with 

mixed success. The historic mining town of Eldoradoville, located along 

the East Fork of the San Gabriel River, had at its peak in 1861 a population 

of over 500 miners, with general stores, saloons, and dance halls along 

with numerous mining camps of tents, wooden shacks, and stone cabins 

along the river. 

In the early 20th century, responding to the burgeoning interest of urban 

dwellers in backcountry hiking and weekend rambling, a number of trails, 

lodges, and camps—many of which were accessible only by horseback or 

on foot—were constructed throughout the mountains. Remnants of these 

historic resorts, which attracted local residents and Hollywood stars alike, 

can still be seen and are important aspects of the region’s social and cultural 

history.

Enthusiasm for recreating in the mountains continues today. The San Gabriels 

offer hundreds of miles of hiking, motorized, and equestrian trails, including 

several National Recreational Trails and 87 miles of the Pacific Crest National 

Scenic Trail. In the footprint of the resorts of the Great Hiking Era, many 

visitors partake of Forest Service campgrounds built on the foundations 

of early 20th-century lodges and resorts. In a region with limited open 

space, the mountains are the backyard for many highly urbanized and culturally diverse populations within Los Angeles, underscoring the need for 

strong partnerships between this urban forest and neighboring communities. 

The mountains have hosted world-class scientists, studying the terra firma 

at their feet as well as the distant galactic stars. Astronomer Edwin Hubble 

performed critical calculations from his work at the Mt. Wilson Observatory, 

including his discovery that some nebulae were actually galaxies outside 

our own Milky Way. Assisted by Milton Humason, he also discovered the 

presence of the astronomical phenomenon of redshift that proved the universe 

is expanding. Also on Mt. Wilson, Albert Michelson, America’s first Nobel 

Prize winner in a science field, conducted an experiment that provided 

the first modern and truly accurate measurement of the speed of light. 

Closer to earth, the San Dimas Experimental Forest, established in 1933 

as a hydrologic laboratory, continues the study of some of our earliest 

and most comprehensively monitored research watersheds, providing crucial 

scientific insights. 

Although proximate to one of America’s most urban areas, the region has 

untrammeled wilderness lands of the highest quality, including four designated wilderness areas: San Gabriel, Sheep Mountain, Pleasant View Ridge, 

and Magic Mountain. These lands provide invaluable backcountry opportunities for the rapidly expanding nearby communities and also provide habitat 

for iconic species including the endangered California condor and least 

Bells’ vireo, and the Forest Service Sensitive Nelson’s bighorn sheep, bald 

eagle, and California spotted owl. Inventoried roadless areas and lands recommended for designation as Wilderness also provide important habitat, 

including a connectivity corridor important for wide ranging species, such 

as the mountain lion. 

The importance of the San Gabriels’ watershed values was recognized early. 

As early as the late 1800s, local communities petitioned to protect the 

mountains for their watershed values. As a result, President Benjamin Harrison established the San Gabriel Timberland Reserve in 1892, the precursor 

to the Angeles National Forest. 

Reflecting the needs of the nearby population centers, the San Gabriels 

host an array of flood control and water storage, delivery, and diversion 

infrastructure, including six large retention dams as well as numerous telecommunications and utility towers. 

The San Gabriels’ rivers not only provide drinking water but are also areas 

of high ecological significance supporting rare populations of native fish, 

including the threatened Santa Ana sucker. The San Gabriel River supports 

rare arroyo chub and Santa Ana speckled dace, a species found only in 

the Los Angeles Basin. Little Rock Creek tumbles down from the northern 

escarpment to the Mojave Desert below and supports important populations 

of the endangered mountain yellow-legged frog and arroyo toad, as well 

as the threatened California red-legged frog. On the slopes of Mt. San Antonio, 

San Antonio Creek rushes through an alpine canyon studded with stalwart 

bigcone Douglas fir, and the magnificent 75-foot San Antonio Falls draw 

thousands of visitors every year. 

In addition to rivers, the San Gabriels contain two scenic lakes, both formed 

by the area’s remarkable geologic forces. The alpine Crystal Lake, found 

high in the mountains, was formed from one of the largest landslides on 

record in southern California. Jackson Lake is a natural sag pond, a type 

of pond formed between the strands of an active fault line—in this case, 

the San Andreas.

Climatic contrasts in the San Gabriels range from the northern slope desert 

region, home to Joshua trees and pinyon pines, to high-elevation white 

fir and a notable stand of 1,000-year-old limber pines. Vegetation communities, including chaparral and oak woodland, represent a portion of the 

rare Mediterranean ecosystem found in only 3 percent of the world. Mediterranean climate zones have high numbers of species for their area. 

The San Gabriels also provide suitable habitat for 52 Forest Service Sensitive 

Plants and as many as 300 California-endemic species, including Pierson’s 

lupine and San Gabriel bedstraw, that occur only in the San Gabriel range. 

The mountains harbor several of California’s signature natural vegetation 

communities, including the drought-tolerant and fire-adapted chaparral 

shrubland, which is the dominant community and includes scrub oaks, 

chamise, manzanita, wild lilac, and western mountain-mahogany. Mixed 

conifer forest is an associated vegetation community comprising Jeffrey pine, 

sugar pine, white fir, and riparian woodlands including white alder, sycamore, and willow. These communities provide habitat for numerous native 

wildlife and insect species, including agriculturally important pollinators, 

the San Gabriel Mountains slender salamander, San Bernardino Mountain 

kingsnake, song sparrow, Peregrine falcon, mule deer, and Pallid bat. 

WHEREAS section 2 of the Act of June 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 225, 16 U.S.C. 

431) (the ‘‘Antiquities Act’’), authorizes the President, in his discretion, 

to declare by public proclamation historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric 

structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest situated upon 

the lands owned or controlled by the Government of the United States 

to be national monuments, and to reserve as a part thereof parcels of land, 

the limits of which in all cases shall be confined to the smallest area 

compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected; and 

WHEREAS it is in the public interest to preserve and protect the objects 

of scientific and historic interest at the San Gabriel Mountains;
