Santa Ana River |
| View of Santa Ana River near where Anza crossed on way to San Gabriel. |

This current view of the Santa Ana River gives a incorrect impression of the historical river both Anza expeditions found difficult to cross. Today the dispersed river flow reflects current water management. The river area was described by Anza as a countryside "entirely distinct from the rest of America which I have seen; in the grasses and the flowers of the fields, and also in the fact that the rainy season is in the winter, it is very similar to Spain." |
