San Antonio Wash This area is typical of the once common vegetation in
the washes of the Los Angeles basin. Most of the vegetation in this area, which lies
downstream from the San Antonio Dam, is coastal sage scrub with coffeeberry,
Rhamnus californica, scrub oak, Quercus berberidifolia, Rhus spp., and
Yucca whipplei ssp. parishii, the latter forming spectacular displays during the blooming season.
The scrub on the sandy alluvial soils is more open than is normally
encountered. Baccharis sp. is found
near the watercourses. This area, as Big Tujunga, only to a lesser
extent, has elements of the desert flora, including Chrysothamnus sp. and a
number of annuals. Integrity: The
creek has been channelled and there is a levee surrounding a portion of the
area. There are some dirt roads in
the area; however, it remains a fair sample of the wash vegetation. Use: Research,
educational, observational. Some
private. March 1977
