Latitude	34.0808442382475 º
Longitude	-118.523912796965 º
Author Location	Santa Monica Mountains Natl. Rec. Area
Location Narrative	geocoordinates UTM based on centroid for AirPhoto indicated on datasheet, Rained 2". This area has a running stream, perennial spring. Divided out because lower drainage has no water, there is more Platanus racemosa, less Quercus agrifolia. Juglans californica has no leaves, lots of overlap. Old development by the guy who built canals in LA,water channel possibl
