Photograph article dated August 7, 1961 partially reads, "Thick brush now grows unhindered where stagecoaches rumbling over the Santa Susana Pass once proved easy prey for the famed Mexican bandit Joaquin Murietta. They call the steep road on the San Fernando Valley side 'Devil's Slide' when it was hewn out of solid rock in 1859-60. But today the original link between the San Fernando and Simi valleys is used only by stray hikers and known only to historical-minded groups, although its twisting path still remains clearly discernible."
