At least one of these channels probably went roughly along the line of Los Robles from Laguna to El Camino. That was the line selected by Edward Barron's farm manager about 1885. That is the approximate date when Barron Creek was channelized in a straight line from Laguna to El Camino, exactly where the buried culvert runs today. The channel was converted to a pipe culvert about 1961, after several very annoying flood events. In spite of all this, however, the course of the greatest flow of water in the 1983 flood indicates that at least a sizeable channel probably did empty into Matadero Creek right where the USGS map shows it.
