Description
Depicts the 320 acres bounded by the Wilson estate, and the properties of Richardson and H. D. Barrows. Also included are the former owners of lots and years of transfer (i.e. Wilson to Kewen, Nov. 27, 1871; E. J. C. Kewen to T. W. Temple, June 1875, etc.). One of three hand-drawn survey maps representing a San Marino, California property as purchased and developed by Edward L. Mayberry (1834-1902) between 1880 and 1900. Two of the maps (mssHM 83404b, dated 1887, and mssHM 83404c, 1894) were used as evidence in an 1895 lawsuit over water rights between Mayberry and the Alhambra Addition Water Company. The three maps document the remnants of the Molino Canyon mission water system, agricultural activity in San Marino before 20th-century residential subdividing, and evidence of the area before Henry Huntington purchased a large portion of it.
