Talk:Santa Ana River

Cabrillo and the Santa Ana River
Of the two sources cited for the history section (the History of the Santa Ana River and From Crest to Coast), the first doesn't bother cite any sources and the second (which looks merely to be some popular book written by someone who doesn't appear to be a historian) doesn't have any footnotes or (apparently) references. Both simply state that Cabrillo passed the mouth of the river, but don't explicitly state whether he actually saw it. Could anyone confirm with a reliable, well-cited source written by an expert that he really did sight the river's mouth? OldBabyBlue (talk) 03:50, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

File:Santa Ana River.JPG: Looking south???
If that's looking south... how come the shadows are heading off towards the back and left? Looks more like its looking "north". Famartin (talk) 10:40, 26 October 2012 (UTC)


 * The photo is looking south/south-east. The photo was taken in Mira Loma, perhaps from Limonite Avenue, or from 66th St. & Etiwanda Ave. In the distance are the La Sierra Hills. The greenery on the hills is Crestlawn Memorial Park on Arlington Avenue (, and that distant greenery extends to the right towards Norco. On the other side (e.g., closer to the river) of Arlington Avenue is the Hidden Valley Wildlife Area. The river at that point is meandering east to west. The shadows on the nearby riverbank are correct for an afternoon photo.
 * Even so, the direction on the photo is not helpful. The river runs NE-SW, and adding a particular direction description of a photo view would distract. --S. Rich (talk) 15:39, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
