Green, San Clemente Island

Green, San Clemente Island , California, William E. Greenwell, 1862; Stehman Forney, 1878.—On a slight elevation 2 ⅓ miles northwest of the highest point of the island, three-fourths of a mile northwest of Halfway House, and about midway between the northeast and southwest shores of the island, and about 300 meters to the westward of a large gulch. In 1862 the station was marked by a drill hole in the solid rock, covered by a pile of stones. In 1879 a leaden bolt with copper tack was driven into this hole, the copper tack marking the center of the station. At a distance of 15 feet each, to the north, southeast, and southwest, were buried even with the surface three stones, 1 foot long and 2 inches square on the top, with a drill hole in the top.
