Early History of Corona Colony and Water Development
In 1877 I crossed the Mesa of Corona between Rincon and Temescal, noting dry conditions and a nascent town. I began surveying lands for water, built tunnels and a pipeline, and helped supply 75 inches of water within 10 days. The canyon work included Hagador and Gregory canyons, with artesian wells and drainage galleries, shaping the colony’s growth and prospects.
