Talk:Verdugo Mountains

message: * Rancho San Rafael land grant
* Adobes of Rancho San Rafael "one of the first Spanish land grants in California. For nearly a century its mountains and valleys were owned by an old, respected family, the Verdugos."
::"One adobe, located at 2211 Bonita Avenue in Glendale, is the Catalina Verdugo Adobe, named for one of the original owners. Catalina Verdugo" - if memory serves corrects still standing.
::"The story of Rancho San Rafael begins with the Indians who first lived in the area. The Gabrielino village of Hahamogna was located within the wide spread boundary lines of the rancho"
::Paydirt! "The official boundary lines of Rancho San Rafael as compared to modern references are as follows: 
"Commencing at the junction of the Arroyo Seco and the Los Angeles River, the boundary followed north along the east bank of the river, wrapping westerly around Griffith Park to a point near Travel Town. From here a straight line branched off in a northwest direction paralleling Scott Road in Burbank until stopping at Chandler Fire Road north of Verdugo Mountain Park. The line cut back to the northeast until reaching the intersection of Saint Esteban and Tujunga Canyon Boulevard in Tujunga. From this point the boundary headed southeasterly taking a jagged form, roughly following along Blanchard Canyon Channel, then the Verdugo Wash, until reaching the terminus of Ramsdell Avenue in Verdugo City. Here the boundary continued in a straightened form heading southeast to the south rim of Devil's Gate Reservoir. From the reservoir the rancho's eastern border went south following the course of the Arroyo Seco back to the Los Angeles River." One of few landgrants to have boundaries defined - can be mapped!!!

message: It is with some reluctance that I deleted the "See also" section, which consisted solely of a list of links to articles about nearby mountains ranges.  The most germane links (San Gabriel Mountains, San Rafael Hills, Santa Monica Mountains) are already present as links within the body of the text.  Others in the list (Santa Susanna Mountains, Simi Hills, Chalk Hills) have little direct connection with the subject of the article.  Deleting this section cleans up the flow and appearance of the article without compromising its content.
