Ranchos of Los Angeles

Before Los Angeles became the bloated metropolis that I call home, it was once rolling valleys, soft brown grass, some small trees, and lovely. Course, that's dead, the biggest reminders of the yesteryear I wish I knew are along SR-57. For anyone interested, I decided to put all the original ranchos in Los Angeles around 1848, if you wonder why a rancho does not become a city (cities), it was probably public land.
