Gulch, San Clemente Island

Gulch, San Clemente Island , California, William E. Greenwell, 1862; Stehman Forney, 1878.—On the outer end of a high, flat ridge, and on the east side of and near the edge of a large gulch which runs in a southwesterly direction to the ocean, about one-half mile from where it divides near Fork [triangulation]. To the south and west of the station are two egg-shaped hills, about 1 mile distant and ¼ mile apart. In 1862 a hole was drilled in the fixed rock to mark the station. In 1878 a leaden bolt and copper nail were driven into this hole, the nail marking the center of the station. Three holes were drilled in the fixed rock, to the north, 10.6 feet; to the east, 9.7 feet, and to the south, 8.2 feet. [[Annual Report of the Director, U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey, 1904]
