Field Guide Written By Surveyor in 1887 Pointed to L.A.’s ‘Mother Ditch’
From the Los Angeles Times:
“Los Angeles’ chief surveyor stood above the newly unearthed brick and mortar pipe and carefully opened a 127-year-old leather book.
“‘Here is the pipe. It’s exactly where they said it was in 1887,’ said Tony Pratt, carefully pointing to a hand-drawn map in the ancient field guide.”
