ADDENDA
to the
Cultural Resources Technical Reports
for the
Espola Road Improvement Project
Poway, California
This page provides information for the reader regarding the technical reports included in this
appendix. Initial cultural resources evaluations were reported in three 2003 reports; the
Archaeological Survey Report (ASR), the Historic Resource Evaluation Report (HRER), and the
Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR), which is a summary report condensing information
from the ASR and HRER, as well as providing the original Area of Potential Effect (APE) map.
In 2010, a new staging area location was identified and it also became apparent that some
additional structures would be likely to reach 50 years of age prior to Project implementation.
As a result, an addendum was prepared for the ASR to include information about the staging area
and to provide a new APE map, and an addendum was prepared for the HRER to address the
additional structures. These five documents combined comprise the City technical analyses for
cultural resources.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The proposed Espola Road Widening project was surveyed for cultural resources in 2002,
as reported in a Negative Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) (Robbins-Wade 2003) and
Historic Property Survey Report (Affinis 2003). These documents were approved by
Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration and received concurrence from the State
Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) that the Espola Road Widening project would have
no effect on historic properties (5/19/2004). Based on a SHPO recommendation,
archaeological monitoring has been required at two locations in conjunction with storm
drain facilities; this requirement is addressed in this Addendum. Subsequent to receiving
SHPO concurrence, a 2.32-acre staging area was added, outside the previously surveyed
Area of Potential Effects (APE). The proposed staging area was surveyed for cultural
resources in 2007. This addendum addresses the proposed staging area. No
archaeological resources were identified within or adjacent to the project APE, either the
original APE or the proposed staging area. Except the monitoring identified above, no
further archaeological work would be required unless the project plans change to include
areas not encompassed by the 2003 and the current ASRs.
I. INTRODUCTION
Affinis Director of Cultural Resources, Mary Robbins-Wade, conducted an archaeological
survey of the proposed staging area in September 2007.
Ms. Robbins-Wade has a B.A. in Anthropology (University of California, Santa Barbara)
and an M.A. in Anthropology (San Diego State University), both with an emphasis in
archaeology. She has over 30 years of archaeological experience in Southern California,
primarily in San Diego County.
Cultural resource studies were carried out under the auspices of Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act, as codified in 36CFR§800. Caltrans serves as the lead
agency for compliance with both federal and state cultural resources laws. Caltrans fulfills
its Section 106 obligations through the use of a Programmatic Agreement, which went into
affect on January 1, 2004.
II. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The proposed staging area is a 2.32-acre parcel located approximately 1500 ft (460 m)
west of the southern end of the original project APE. The staging area is located on the
south side of Twin Peaks Road, west of Espola Road. The archaeological investigation
consisted of a survey of the staging area to determine whether cultural resources are
present that may be affected by use of the parcel as a staging area. Mary Robbins-Wade
2
served as project Principal Investigator. This report addresses the methods and results of
the survey, as well as recommendations for monitoring for a portion of the road widening
project.
III. SOURCES CONSULTED
Records searches were obtained from the San Diego Museum of Man and the South
Coastal Information Center (SCIC) at San Diego State University for the original APE and a
1/2-mile radius. An updated records search was conducted at SCIC in conjunction with
this Addendum. The updated records search included a 1/2-mile radius around the original
APE and the added staging area.
The State Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) was contacted for a records
search of their Sacred Lands Files in conjunction with the original survey. Letters were
sent to Tribes and individuals identified by the NAHC as potentially interested parties at
that time, as documented in the original ASR. The NAHC was contacted again in
conjunction with this Addendum.
The results of the records searches and other background research are discussed under
Study Findings and Conclusions.
IV. BACKGROUND
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
The project area is in the foothills of San Diego County, where the climate is characterized
as Mediterranean hot summer. Geologically, the proposed staging area is underlain by
Quaternary to Late Pleistocene poorly consolidated, poorly sorted permeable alluvial and
flood plain deposits (Kennedy and Tan 2005). The soil type mapped for the staging area is
Placentia sandy loam, thick surface, 0 to 2 percent slopes. This soil is formed in granitic
alluvium (Bowman 1973). As addressed in the original ASR, the southern portion of the
project APE is underlain by Quaternary alluvium and slopewash associated with the
Rattlesnake Creek drainage (Kennedy and Peterson 1975). Soils mapped in the southern
portion of the APE include Placentia sandy loam, thick surface, and Ramona sandy loam
(Bowman 1973).
CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
In the general vicinity of the project area, a number of recorded archaeological sites reflect
the human use of the area during historic and prehistoric times. The Native American
3
culture group that inhabited this portion of San Diego County was called Diegueño by the
Spanish, after the Mission San Diego de Alcala, located in San Diego’s Mission Valley.
This culture group is generally known as Kumeyaay; the ethnographic names Ipai and
Tipai are sometimes used to differentiate two regional Kumeyaay groups. The Late
Prehistoric and ethnohistoric village of Paguai is located in proximity to the Espola Road
study area.
V. FIELD METHODS
Prior to beginning fieldwork, the senior archaeologist reviewed records searches, including
historic maps and aerial photographs, to determine the potential for historic and prehistoric
archaeological resources within the APE. The proposed 2.32-acre staging area was
surveyed for archaeological resources by Affinis Director of Cultural Resources, Mary
Robbins-Wade, on September 12, 2007. The staging area was surveyed using parallel
transects spaced approximately 10 m apart.
VI. STUDY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
No archaeological resources have been recorded within approximately 1000 ft of the
staging area APE, and none were found during the current survey.
The NAHC was contacted for a records search of their Sacred Lands Files. The NAHC
has no record of cultural resources within a one-half mile radius of the project area,
although the “Village of Pawai” is located in proximity to the APE.
No archaeological sites or historic resources have been identified within the staging area
APE. Therefore, use of the staging area is expected to have no effect on cultural
resources. Although the staging area is in an alluvial setting, no excavation is proposed, so
there would be no effect on potential buried resources.
In the letter of concurrence with the finding of no effect on historic properties for the road
widening project, SHPO recommended monitoring of storm drain excavation in two
locations, due to deep excavation proposed in alluvial soils at Stations 141+30 and
143+00. An archaeological monitor and a Native American monitor (Kumeyaay) would be
present to observe excavation in the two areas. The monitoring locations are shown in
Figure 3. It is Caltrans and City of Poway policy to avoid cultural resources whenever
possible. If buried remains are discovered during the monitoring program or at any time
during construction, work is to halt in the immediate area of the finds. Sufficient time and
resources would be allowed for an archaeologist to assess the nature and significance of
the finds. Artifacts recovered would be analyzed and cataloged, then properly curated at
the San Diego Archaeological Center. A report on the results would be written for submittal
to Caltrans and the City of Poway. If any resources encountered during monitoring are
4
determined to be significant, the archaeological consultant, Native American
representative, and Caltrans and City staff would determine whether avoidance of impacts
is required or would identify appropriate mitigation measures.

INTRODUCTION
A Historic Resource Evaluation Report (HRER) was prepared for the Espola Road
Improvements Project in 2003 (Van Wormer and Robbins-Wade 2003). At that time,
the four buildings in the project study area constructed by 1957 were addressed and
were documented using Primary Records and Building, Structure, and Object Records.
This date was based on anticipated project buildout at the time of that study. Project
buildout is now expected to be 2011. This addendum to the original HRER addresses
all buildings within the project study area that would be 50 years by 2012, built by 1962
(the properties not addressed were all built in 1968 or later). As noted above, four of
these buildings were addressed in the HRER and were recorded at that time. The other
14 buildings were recorded in conjunction with this addendum. None of the properties
are considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places or the California
Register of Historical Resources. Therefore, the proposed project would have no effect
on historic properties.
RESEARCH METHODS
Prior to undertaking field studies, the National Register of Historic Places database,
California Register of Historical Resources, California Inventory of Historic Resources,
and California Historical Landmarks were reviewed through a record search obtained
from the South Coastal Information Center to determine the presence of previously
identified resources within the study area. In addition, the San Diego County 1928 Tax
Factor Aerial Photograph and early U.S.G.S. Quadrangle Maps for the area were
examined to determine if older buildings had been present in the study area (Aerial
Photograph 1928; U.S.G.S. 1902, 1930, 1952). Additional research was conducted at
the San Diego Historical Society archives, and the index to the San Diego Union was
reviewed. For the addendum an effort was made to find building permits or other
information regarding architects or builders of individual properties. No such
documentation could be found.
HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
Development of the present city of Poway is a result of the post-World War II population
boom that has engulfed Southern California. The valley was originally the location of
the Kumeyaay Indian Village of Paguay. The Mexican Period ranchos of San Bernardo
and Peñasquitos covered areas adjacent to Poway Valley. Euro-American settlement
of the area began in the late 19th century as a dispersed agricultural community.
In 1870 Castanos Paine, owner of Paine's Rancho, a stage stop for travel from San
Diego to northern San Diego County, applied for and won appointment as Poway's first
Postmaster. The main social life of the community at this time was the community
church and the Templars Hall. Agriculture, beekeeping, and dairy ranching were the
main occupations of the area's settlers. Peaches, Muscat grapes, raisins, hay, alfalfa,
2
and tobacco were major crops. By 1882, Poway had 800 residents (Rancho Magazine
September 1987; San Diego Union 7-24-1879: 1:3).
During the early 20th century, settlement in the area declined. By 1954 only 300
residents remained, and only about 10 of these families were descended from early
pioneers (Ramona Sentinel Nov. 24, 1977).
In the early 1950s the area consisted of rural farms. A description in 1955 noted:
Poway today is a settlement rather than a town, for it covers a wide area,
with no centralized district. The post office . . . is near the center of the
Valley. There are several stores scattered through the area, real estate
offices, poultry and turkey ranches, a number of good dairies, and many
fruit and vegetable plantings some covering large acreages. The
settlement boasts an active Chamber of Commerce, Soil Conservation
District, and Water District, has a small newspaper, several churches, and
a fine school. During the last few years the modest homes of the older
settlers have been improved, and many new expensive modern dwellings
erected. The biggest excitement at Poway just now concerns the
development of nearly a thousand acres of potential avocado land
(Southern California Rancher December 1955).
During the closing years of the 1950s the area began to experience radical change.
Improvements to Highway 395 following World War II and the availability of Colorado
River Water in 1954 brought the establishment of a modern suburb. Following
formation of the Poway Municipal Water District in 1954, farms were broken up and
subdivided, resulting in agricultural decline (Ramona Sentinel Nov. 24, 1977). One of
the first housing tracts was a 3,000 dwelling project that covered 1500 acres by Berlin
Construction Company (San Diego Union 10-20-1957). An article in 1957 stated,
"According to a report just issued by Mrs. Marvel Taunt, the efficient post mistress of
Poway, the little inland settlement has now reached a population of 1,564 persons, a
gain of 311 since the last postal census was taken in November 1956." The writer
further stated that with Colorado River water "available throughout the valley" hundreds
were finding Poway "a delightful place to live, while they work in the airplane factories in
San Diego" (Southern California Rancher 1957).
The next 30 years saw extremely accelerated growth caused by Poway's proximity to
San Diego's major employment centers, and its rural-residential nature, in which
families could raise horses, while retaining a bedroom community environment. By
1960 the valley's population had grown to 5,365. Ten years later it stood at 14,000.
The community was ". . . dotted with residential tracts. It has new shopping centers,
new schools, new streets, and a new traffic signal (its second). Among the residents
are many Navy families assigned to near-by Miramar Naval Air Station." In 1980 Poway
incorporated as a city of 33,236 residents. By 1987 the area’s population was
estimated at over 39,000 (Rancho Magazine 1987).

FIELD METHODS
The field survey was carried out on various days between October 2002 and March
2003 by Stephen R. Van Wormer, architectural historian with Walter Enterprises, and
Mary Robbins-Wade of Affinis and Affinis archaeologists. Mr. Van Wormer is a qualified
architectural historian who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s professional qualification
standards. He has over 30 years experience in Section 106, NEPA, and CEQA
compliance studies. Mr. Van Wormer inspected each structure within the study area.
Ms. Robbins-Wade and Affinis staff aided by taking additional notes and photographs.
All structures within the study area were inventoried. Bureau Veritas staff (then
Berryman & Henigar) provided addresses, assessor parcel numbers, and build dates for
the structures in conjunction with the original HRER. Historic U.S.G.S. maps, road
surveys, aerial photographs, and other historical data were reviewed. Mr. Van Wormer
contacted City of Poway staff to obtain property records. While property records
provided dates of construction, no architects or builders were listed. All buildings
constructed by 1962 were recorded on California Department of Parks and Recreation
Primary and Building, Structure and Object records (Appendix 1). Four of these
houses, those built prior to 1957, were recorded for the original HRER. The other 14
were recorded for this addendum. The records for these 14 houses are included as
Appendix 1 of this addendum.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Architectural resources within the proposed project area consist of residential buildings
constructed as part of the post-World War II subdivision development in Poway. This
addendum addresses 14 properties that would be over 50 years old by 2012, all of
which were constructed between 1958 and 1962. While the majority of these houses (9
of the 14) were constructed in a single year (1958), it cannot be stated with certainty
that they were developed as a single tract, because no information could be found
regarding the architects or developers of the properties. It seems reasonable that the
properties listed as 1 through 5 and 7 were developed at the same time, as they are
located in a row along the east side of Espola Road. The house at Map Reference 6
was built in 1980 and may have replaced one built in 1958. It must be noted that each
house is different, however, and each appears to be a custom home, rather than a tract
house based on a single model (or a limited number of models).
The houses along Espola Road are a reflection of the post-World War II development of
Poway but do not appear to be a major contributor to that boom. As previously noted, a
3,000 dwelling unit housing tract covering 1,500 acres was begun in the late 1950s.
While the population of Poway grew from 1,564 people in 1957 to 5,365 in 1960, the
majority of that growth was south and west of the Espola Road area. Historical aerial
photographs and the 1967 U.S.G.S. map show residential development along Poway
Road and Midland Road, as well as housing tracts south of Poway Road and east of
Pomerado Road. The residential development in the Espola Road area was much
more scattered than in these other areas of Poway.
4
Although the houses in the study area appear to be custom homes, rather than a
residential tract with few different models, the style and building techniques of these
homes exemplify post-World War II tract house construction methods. In conclusion, no
architectural resources were found to qualify for listing on the National Register of
Historic Places or the California Register of Historical Resources. All are residential
dwellings typical of post-World War II tract housing construction. None are outstanding
examples of this architectural type nor associated with specific significant historical
events.
The 18 properties that will be over 50 years old at buildout are listed on the table below.

* addressed in 2003 HRER
As previously noted, four of these properties were addressed in the 2003 HRER. More
detailed descriptions of the other 14 properties are provided on the forms in Appendix 1.
As stated above, none meet the criteria for eligibility, because they:
• Cannot be are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to
the broad patterns of our history
• Are not associated with the lives of persons significant in our past
• Do not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of
construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic
values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose
components may lack individual distinction
• And, are unlikely to yield information important in prehistory or history.
Therefore, the project would have no effect on historic properties.

The house at 14611 Espola Road does not meet the criteria for listing on the NRHP. It is not historically or architecturally
significant. It was built in 1958 as part of the subdivision building boom that has engulfed the Poway Valley over the last 50 years.
With its wooden stud framed stucco covered walls on a concrete slab foundation the house is typical of Post World War II
tract housing construction. A single story addition has also been added. It is not an outstanding example of its type nor associated
with specific significant historical events. No association with any historic significant individual could be found.

The house at 15109 Espola Road is not historically or architecturally significant and does not meet the criteria for listing on the
NRHP. It was built in 1958 as part of the subdivision building boom that has engulfed the Poway Valley over the last 50 years and
is typical of Post World War II tract housing construction. The house’s stucco covered wood stud framed walls are supported
by a concrete slab foundation. The multi levels and irregular shape of this house suggest that it has undergone
extensive alterations over time. It is not an outstanding example of its type nor associated with specific significant historical
events. No association could be found with historically significant persons.

I . SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The City of Poway proposes improvements to Espola Road, in the eastern portion of the City, in
order to accommodate projected traffic volumes through the year 2025 at acceptable levels of service
(LOS). Because the City proposes use of federal funds for the project, the undertaking must comply
with the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended,
and its regulations as promulgated in 36CFR§800. Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) has
tasked Caltrans to provide oversight on environmental issues, including cultural resource~,-and to
make sure this Historic Property. Survey Report (HPSR) complies with all applicab~ federal
guidelines and regulations. Martin D. Rosen, Caltrans District 11 Heritage Resource-Coordinator,
provided this oversight.
The project area is generally linear, located along the existing alignment ofEspola Road in the City
of Poway (Figures 1 and 2). The proposed project would provide improvements to Espola Road
between approximately 1000 ft (305m) south of the intersection ofEspola Road and Titan Way to
200ft (61 m) south of the crossing ofEspola Road by Rattlesnake Creek. Improvements would
consist of widening the two-lane road to a four-lane major facility between the northern project
terminus south of Titan Way to the intersection of Espola Road and Twin Peaks Road, as well as
necessary traffic safety, drainage, pedestrian and landscaping improvements . The ultimate right-of-
way of the proposed project improvements is shown on the Area ofPotential Effects (APE) maps
(Figure 3).
The studies attached in Appendices A to C were carried out to identify any properties (historic
resources or archaeological sites) listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register ofHistoric
Places, in order to achieve compliance with the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act. The historic architectural survey evaluated and recorded all buildings and
structures within the undertaking's architectural APE, which includes entire parcels located adjacent
to Espola Road (Figure 3). The archaeological survey covered a 200-ft corridor on each side of the
existing roadway (Figure 3). Fieldwork for the historic architectural study and the archaeological
survey occurred on various days between October 2002 and March 2003 . The historic architectural
survey examined a total of 54 resources. None appear to meet National Register eligibility criteria.
No archaeological resources were found.
Note: Any reference to eligibility or non-eligibility of a historic property to the National Register
applies equally to the California Register ofHistorical Resources. Also note that, as used throughout
the document, "historic property'' means any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure,
or object included in, or potentially eligible for inclusion in, theN ational Register ofHistoric Places.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City ofPoway proposes improvements to Espola Road in the eastern portion of the City in order
to accommodate projected traffic volumes through the year 2025 at acceptable levels of service
(LOS). Because the City proposes use of federal funds for the project, the project is subject to
federal, as well as City and State environmental review requirements. Project cultural resources
documentation, therefore, has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHP A). This HPSR addresses inventory and National Register eval~atia!I efforts
for the Espola Road improvement project. -·
The proposed project would provide improvements to Espola Road between approximately 1000 ft
(305 m) south of the intersection of Espola Road and Titan Way to 200 ft (61 m) south of the
crossing ofEspola Road by Rattlesnake Creek. Improvements would consist of widening the two-
lane road to a four-lane major facility between the northern project terminus south of Titan Way to
the intersection ofEspola Road and Twin Peaks Road, as well as necessary traffic safety, drainage,
pedestrian and landscaping improvements .
The project is located in the eastern portion of the City ofPoway, between Twin Peaks Road on the
south and Titan Way/Eden Grove on the north (Figure 1). The roadway is within Township 13
South, Range 1 West, Section 31, and Township 14 South, Range 1 West, Section 6, on the USGS
7.5' Poway quadrangle (Figure 2).
The project APE is delineated on Figure 3. There are two APE lines shown, one that covers the
project's future right-of-way for the roadway widening, plus other easement and drainage work and
areas for construction staging. The archaeological survey work encompasses this APE (Appendix
C). The second APE line is for architectural history. Since the proposed road widening may affect
parcels adjacent to Espola Road through a right-of-way take, in accordance with the evaluation
process, the entire parcel was evaluated for its potential National Register eligibility, I.e.,
architectural and historical significance (Appendices A and B).
Roadway Improvements and Amenities
Roadway Upgrades. As noted above, the proposed project would widen the two-lane road to a
four-lane major facility with two vehicle lanes in each direction between the northern project
terminus south ofTitan Way to the intersection ofEspola Road and Twin Peaks Road. A striped or
raised median would be included for the entire length of the roadway widening, with the intent to
preclude left turns across the roadway except at signalized intersections. The width of the median
would be approximately 14ft (4 .3 m).
Historic Property Survey Report
Espola Road Widening
July 2003
Page 3
Two traffic signals would be upgraded, intersections of Espola Road with Twin Peaks Road and
High Valley Road, and one new signal would be constructed at the intersection ofEspola Road and
Golden Sunset. At each of these intersections the project would add one through lane in each
direction, and retain turn pockets for northbound and southbound traffic.
Drainage Improvements. A storm drain trunk system would be installed between Mountain Road
and Rattlesnake Creek, completely within the pavement ofthe existing roadway, with the possible
exception of the outfall. The upstream end of this system would extend into Mountain R_oad to a
point outside the limits of the propos6d Espola Road widening. The outfall at Rattl.esnaj{e Creek
would connect to the existing box culvert system at this location or, alternatively, parallel.the box
culvert and outlet directly into the creek bed on the west side of Espola Road. The storm drain
system would range in size from 48 inch (1 .2 m) to 84 inch (2.1 m) of reinforced concrete pipe.
Pedestrian/Bikeway Improvements. Non-contiguous sidewalk would be installed where possible
with a landscaped parkway to separate vehicular traffic from pedestrian traffic. The sidewalk would
be approximately 5 ft (1.6 m) wide and would generally be straight (non-meandering), although not
necessarily contiguous with the curb.
Landscaping. Landscaping would be provided along the length of the improved roadway.
Determination of the final palette will be based on compliance with both an Executive Order for
federally funded projects that requires that the proposed streetscape not include any invasive species,
as well as , City Guide to Landscape Requirements (City ofPoway 1997). This will include use of
low-growing shrubs within 50 feet of the intersecting curb lines of two streets and within 5 feet of
driveways, spacing of street trees an average of 30 feet on center, and preservation of clear zones
around utilities, signs and safety elements such as fire hydrants.
Although the final landscape palette has not been determined, trees currently expected to comprise
part of the palette include white iron bark (Eucalyptus leucoxylon rosea), American sweet gum
(Liquidambar styraciflua) and London plane tree (Platanus acerifolia bloodgoo). Shrubs could
include: lily of the Nile (Agapanthus africanus), ceanothus (Ceanothus blue cushion), rockrose
( Cistus pwpureus), fortnight lily (Dietes vegeta), saffron buckwheat (Eriogunum crocatum), day lily
(Hemerocallis hybrids), myrtle Mytus communis), Pittosporum (pittosporum tobira cv.), India
hawthorn (Raphiolepis indica cv.), rosemary (Rosmarinus officina/is prostrates) and/or Cleveland
sage Salvia Clevelandii). Groundcovers may include: Carmel creeper Ceanothus griseus
gorizontalis cv.), Gazania (Gazania spp.), pink clover blossom (Potentila capitatum) and/or star
jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides).

Project Alternatives
The proposed project alternatives all occur within the APE, between approximately 1000 ft (305m)
south of the intersection ofEspola Road and Titan Way to 200ft (61 m) south of the crossing of
Espola Road by Rattlesnake Creek. The following alternative project designs are being considered.
Alternative 1 . Alternative 1 consists ofwidening the two-lane road to a four-lane major facility
between the northern project terminus south ofTitan Way to the intersection ofEspola and Twin
Peaks Roads , as well as necessary traffic safety, drainage, pedestrian and landscaping impnwements.
The widening generally would be "superimposed" along the current right-of-way align.rrt"ent, and
generally would follow both horizontal and vertical alignments ofthe existing roadway. Driveway
access to three properties south of High Valley Road would be realigned (Figure 4).
Alternative 2 . Alternative 2, the split-grade alternative, incorporates many elements of Alternative
1. From the vicinity of Golden Sunset Lane southerly, project elements would be identical to
Alternative 1, including all drainage facilities and staging areas. Variations from Alternative 1 occur
on the east side ofEspola Road just south of High Valley Road, and also in the area approximately
250ft (76 m) south of the water tank. In these areas, the western (southbound) lanes would retain
the existing grade and the eastern (northbound) lanes would be implemented at a higher grade,
thereby minimizing cuts into slopes on the east side of the roadway (Figure 5).
Alternative 3. Alternative 3, the residential property impact minimization alternative, also shares
many elements with Alternative 1, and from approximately High Valley Road northerly and Golden
Sunset Lane southerly is identical. \\There it differs , the altern ative addresses the east side ofEspola
Road, just south of High Valley Road. In this area, impacts to residential properties on the east side
ofthe roadway are minimized, and right -of-way take focuses on the west side of the roadway (Figure
6).
No Action Alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, Espola Road would not be improved, and
the existing roadway would continue to be used as it currently exists. The City proposes
improvements to Espola Road in order to accommodate projected traffic volumes (through year
2025) at acceptable levels of service (LOS). Projected traffic volumes have resulted in unacceptable
LOS along sc:>.me existing roadway segments.
Ill. RESUME OF SURVEY
Mfinis and Walter Enterprises conducted an archaeological survey and an historic structures survey
and assessment for the Espola Road improvements project. A Caltrans letter of ineligibility
regarding post-1957 structures is included as Appendix A to the HPSR; Historic Resource
Historic Property Survey Report
Espola Road Widening
July 2003
Page 5
Evaluation Report (HRER) is included as Appendix B; Negative Archaeological Survey Report
(ASR) is Appendix C .
The study area for the HRER was defined as all parcels that touch the existing roadway within the
proposed project area (Figures 3A-3D). Within the architectural APE, structures that were
documented to have been built in or prior to 1957 were documented using Building, Structure, and
Object Records (BSOs) and Primary Records (Attachment 1 of the HRER). Structures that were
documented to have been built after 1957 were addressed in the body of the HRER, whieh was
forwarded to Caltrans Headquarters f-or review , and concurrence was received on .July:2, 2003,
regarding the included properties ( cf. Appendix A). -· ·
The archaeological study area was defined as 200ft (61 m) on each side of centerline of existing
Espola Road, extending outwardly as necessary to encompass potential staging areas, drainage work,
and utility relocations (Figure 3).
IV. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND NATIVE AMERICAN COORDINATION
In accordance with 36CFR§800.2(d), public participation in the Section 106 process has been
coordinated with the public participation program carried out by FHW A and the City of Poway in

The City of Poway's efforts to identify and evaluate cultural resources within the project will be
summarized in a draft environmental document (DED). The DED will be a preliminary analysis
prepared to inform decision-makers and the public of the environmental consequences of the
proposed project in a way that will assist and guide the decision-making process. Once the DED is
approved for public circulation, it is sent out for comment to the State Clearinghouse, all responsible
agencies, to other appropriate individuals and agencies, and to those who have requested a copy. At
the same time, a newspaper notice announcing availability of the document is published. Specific
information on project effects on historic properties are included in this notice. It is anticipated that
during this public review and comment period, any interested persons not previously identified by
the City ofPoway and its consultants will offer their views on preservation issues and project effects
on historic properties. Concerns ofthese groups or any other individuals who contact FHW A or City
regarding project historic properties will be identified and addressed in the final ED.
Affinis sent q9tice of the archaeological survey to each of the Kumeyaay/Dieguefio Bands in San
Diego County on May 28, 2003, in an effort to solicit input regarding potential cultural heritage
concerns. Letters were sent to the Tribal Chair or Tribal Spokesman for each Band, as well as each
Band's cultural committee. In additional, letters were sent to Kumeyaay cultural committees that
are not associated with a specific tribal group . One letter was received in comment; the Kumeyaay
Cultural Repatriation Committee recommended using a Native American monitor during
construction. Follow-up phone calls were made in July 2003 to ensure that potential concerns were
made known. No specific concerns were identified. Three additional parties recommended a Native
American monitor, and two indicated they had no comments or concerns regarding the project.

V. RESOURCES IDENTIFIED AND NATIONAL REGISTER STATUS
Historic Resources. Fifty-four structures were examined during the historic structures study
(Tables 1 and 2). Fifty of these buildings were constructed after 1957 (Appendix A); the remaining
four were documented using Primary Records and BSOs (Appendix B). None of the structures
appear to meet the criteria for National Register eligibility.
Archaeological Resources. No archaeological resources were identified within the st}.ldy area
during the current survey (Appendix C). .
VI. PROJECT EFFECTS
No archaeological resources were identified within or adjacent to the study area, and none of the
structures within the APE appear to meet the criteria for inclusion in the National Register.
Therefore, the project would have no effect on historic properties.
Effects of Alternatives. The project alternatives are all within the APE addressed by the attached
studies. Based on the data previously addressed, the project alternatives would have no effect on
historic properties. While monitoring during construction has been recommended by the Native
American community, there is absolutely no evidence, either archaeological or geological, to suggest
that there is any potential for buried archaeological remains to be encountered in the APE. We have
given these comments their due consideration, but feel that monitoring is not appropriate for this
undertaking .
VII. CONCLUSIONS
With the processing of this HPSR, FHW A and the City ofPoway note that they have not previously
consulted with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) on the scope of this particular
undertaking in accordance with 36CFR§800.4(a), therefore, in accordance with 36CFR§800.3(g),
they are requesting "Expedited Consultation" and concurrence on the following items:
1. In acc ordance with 36CFR§800.4(a), the project's APE has been adequately defined.
2 . In accordance · with 36CFR§800.4(a-b), the HPSR and attached documentation have
adequately inventoried historic properties located within the project's Area of Potential
Effects (APE).
3. In accordance with 36CFR§800.2(d), the public has been given adequate opportunity to
comment on historic preservation issues.
4. In accordance with 36CFR§800.4(d)(l), this undertaking achieves a finding ofNo Historic
Properties Affected.

subject: Review of Post 1957 Buildings for the Espola Road Widening Project, City of
Escondido, San Diego County
The list of 50 properties, which includes the Assessor's Parcel Numbers and
the dates of construction, and the accompanying photographs, that are within
the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the proposed Espola Road Widening
project were reviewed in accordance with the Caltrans June 2002 "Interim
Policy for the Treatment of Buildings Constructed in 1957 or Later."
Caltrans Associate Environmental Planner (AH), Frank Lortie, who meets
the Secretary of Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards as an
architectural historian, has reviewed the above list and photographs of 50
buildings in the Espola Road Widening project APE and has confirmed that
these 50 buildings post-date 1957 and appear to require no further study.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The proposed project would provide improvements to Espola Road roughly between the intersection
of Espola Road and Titan Way to the crossing of Espola Road by Rattlesnake Creek. Improvements
would consist of widening the two-lane road to a four-lane major facility between the northern project
terminus south of Titan Way to the intersection of Espola Road and Twin Peaks Road , as well as
necessary traffic safety, drainage, pedestrian and landscaping improvements. The p roject is funded
in part with assistance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and, therefore, must comply
with the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and its promulgating
regulat ions, as cited in 36CFR§BOO .
This historic architectural survey was carried out to identify buildings or structures listed on, or eligible
for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places in order to achieve compliance with the
requirements of Section 1 06 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The survey evaluated and
recorded all buildings and structures within the undertaking's study area, which includes structures on
parcels adjacent to Espola Road, as developed in coordination with Caltrans Distr ict 11 staff and
depicted on the Area of Potential Effects (APE) maps in the attached Historic Property Survey Report
(HPSR}. Fieldwork occurred on various days between October 2002 and March 2003. This surVey
e xamined a total of 54 properties,.noRe of which appear to meet National Register eligib Uity cttt~ria.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Poway proposes improvements to Espola Road, in the eastern portion of the City, in order
to accommodate projected traffic volumes through the year 2025 at acceptable levels of service
(LOS). Because the City proposes use of federal funds for the project, the undertaking is subject to
federal, as well as City and State environmental review requirements. The proposed project would
provide improvements to Espola Road between approximately 1000 ft (305 m) south of the
intersection of Espola Road and Titan Way to 200ft (61 m} south of the crossing of Espola Road by
Rattlesnake Creek. Improvements would consist of widening the two-Jane road to a four-lane major
facility between the northern project terminus south of Titan Way to the intersection of Espola Road
and Twin Peaks Road, as well as necessary traffic safety, drainage, pedestrian and landscaping
improvements. A more detailed project description is included in the HPSR. The project is funded in
part with assistance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and, therefore, must comply
with the requirements of Section 1 06 of the National Historic Preservation Act and its promufgC!ting
regulations, as cited in 36CFR§800.
-
The project is located in the eastern portion of the City of Poway, between Twin Peaks Road on the
south and Titan Way/Eden Grove on the north. The roadway is within Township 13 South, Range 1
West, Section 31, and Township 14 South, Range 1 West, Section 6, on the USGS 7.5' Poway
quadrangle (Figures 1 and 2 in HPSR}.
The study area for the HRER was defined as all parcels that touch the existing roadway within the
proposed project area (Figure 3 in HPSR).
RESEARCH METHODS
Prior to undertaking field studies, the National Register of Historic Places' database, California
Register of Historical Resources, California Inventory of Historic Resources, and California Historical
Landmarks were reviewed through a record search obtained from the South Coastal Information
Center to determine the presence of previously identified resources within the study area. In addition,
the San Diego County 1928 Tax Factor Aerial Photograph and early U.S.G.S. Quadrangle Maps for
the area were examined to determine if older buildings had been present in the study area (Aerial
Photograph 1928; U.S.G.S. 1902, 1930, 1952). Additional research was conducted at the San Diego
Historical Society archives, and the index to the San Diego Union was reviewed .
HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
Development of the present city of Poway is a result of the post World War II population boom that
has engulfed Southern California . The valley was originally the location of the Kumeyaay Indian
Village of Paguay. The Mexican Period ranchos of San Bernardo and Penasquitos covered areas
adjacent to Poway Valley. Actual settlement of the area began in the late 191
h century as a dispersed
agricultural community.
In 1870 Castanos Paine, owner of Paine's Rancho, a stage stop for travel from San Diego to northern
San Diego County, applied for and won appointment as Poway's first Postmaster. The main social life
of the community at this time was the community church and the Templer's Hall. Agriculture,
beekeeping, and dairy ranching were the main occupations of the area's settlers. Peaches, Muscat
grapes , raisins , hay, alfalfa, and tobacco were major crops. By 1882, Poway had 800 residents
(Rancho Magazine September 1987; San Diego Union 7-24-1879: 1 :3).
2
During the early 20th century, settlement in the area declined. By 1954 only 300 residents remained ,
and only about 10 of these families were descended from early pioneers (Ramona Sentinel Nov. 24,
1977}.
In the early 1950s the area consisted of rural farms. A description in 1955 noted:
Poway today is a settlement rather than a town, for it covers a wide area, with no
centralized district. The post office ... is near the center of the Valley. There are
several stores scattered through the area, real estate offices, poultry and turkey
ranches, a number of good dairies, and many fruit and vegetable plantings some
covering large acreages. The settlement boasts an active Chamber of Commerce,
Soil Conservation District, and Water District, has a small newspaper, several
churches, and a fine school. During the last few years the modest homes of the
older settlers have been improved, and many new expensive modern dwellings
erected. The biggest excitement at Poway just now concerns the development of
nearly a thousand acres of potential avocado land (Southern California Rancher
December 1955).
During the closing years of the 1950s the area began to experience radical change. Improvements to
Highway 395 following World War II and the availability of Colorado River Water in 1954 brought the
establishment of a modern suburb. Following formation of the Poway Municipal Water D istrict in
1954, farms were broken up and subdivided, resulting in agricultural decline (Ramona Sentinel Nov.
24, 1977). One of the first housing tracts was a 3,000 dwelling project that covered 1500 acres by
Berlin Construction Company (San Diego Union 1 0-20-1957). An article in 1957 stated, "According to
a report just issued by Mrs. Marvel Taunt, the efficient post mistress of Poway, the little inland
settlement has now reached a population of 1,564 persons, a gain of 311 since the last postal census
was taken in November 1956." The writer further stated that with Colorado River water "available
throughout the valley'' hundreds were finding Poway "a delightful place to live, while they work in the
airplane factories in San Diego" (Southern California Rancher 1957).
The next 30 years saw extremely accelerated growth caused by Poway's proximity to San Diego's
major employment centers, and its rural-residential nature, in which families could raise horses, while
retaining a bedroom community environment. By 1960 the valley's popula tion had grown to 5,365.
Ten years later it stood at 14,000. The community was" ... dotted with residential tracts. It has new
shopping centers, new schools, new streets, and a new traffic signal (its second). Among the
residents are many Navy families assigned to near-by Miramar Naval Air Station." In 1980 Poway
incorporated as a city of 33,236 residents. By 1987 the area's population was estimated at over
39,000 (Rimcho Magazine 1987). The rural atmosphere that had attracted so many to the valley had
been almost obliterated by suburban expansion.
FIELD METHODS
The field survey was carried out on various· days between October 2002 and March 2003 by Stephen
R. Van Wormer, architectural historian with Walter Enterprises, and Mary Robbins-Wade and Affinis
archaeologists. Mr. Van Wormer is a qualified architectural historian who meets the Secretary of the
Interior's professional qualification standards. He has 24 years experience in Section 106, NEPA, and
CEQA compliance studies. Mr. Van Wormer inspected each structure within the study. Ms. Robbins-
Wade and Affinis staff aided by taking additional notes and photographs. All structures within the
study area were inventoried. Berryman & Henigar provided addresses, assessor parcel numbers,
and build dates for the structures. Historic U.S.G.S . maps, road surveys, aerial photographs, and
other historical data were reviewed. Pre-1957 properties were recorded on California Department of
Parks and Recreation Primary and Building, Structure and Object records (Appendix 1 ). Post-1957
properties were documented as to date of construction, photographed, and information sent to
Caltrans Sacramento Architectural Historians for review. The Caltrans letter of ineligibility for the
post-1957 structures is included as Appendix A of the HPSR.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Architectural resources within the proposed project area consist of residential buildings constructed
as part of the post World War II subdivision development in Poway. Although four properties are over
45 years old, with only one exception, all buildings were constructed after 1954. The one house that
dates prior to that time was constructed in 1940. It, however, has been extensively altered so that its
current style and building techniques exemplify post World War II tract house construction methods,
as do all of the other homes in the study area . In conclusion, no architectural resources were found to
qualify for listing on the National Register of Historic Places or the California Register of Historic
Resources. All are residential dwellings typical of post World War II tract housing construction . None
are outstanding example of this architectural type nor associated with specific significant historical
events .
The four properties over 45 years old are listed on the table below. More detailed descrjptioos are
provided on the forms in Appendix 1. As stated above none meet the criteria for eligibility:

Development of the present city of Poway is a result of the post World War II population boom that has engulfed Southern
California. The valley was originally the location of the Kumeyaay Indian Village of Paguay. The Mexican Period ranchos of San
Bernardo and Penasquitos covered areas adjacent to Poway Valley. Actual settlement of the area began in the late 191h cen tury
as a dispersed agricultural settlement.
In 1870 Castanos Paine, own er of Paine's Rancho, a stage stop for travel from San Diego to northern San Diego County, applied
for and wo n appointment as Poway's first Postmaster. Th e main social life of the community at this time was the community
church and the Templer's Hall. Agriculture, beekeeping, and dairy ranching were the main occupations of the area's settlers.
Peaches , Muscat grapes, raisins, hay, alfalfa, and tobacco were major crops. By 1882, Poway had 800 residents (Rancho
Magazine September 1987; San Diego Union 7-24-1879 : 1:3). During the early 201h century, settlement in the area declined. By
1954 only 300 residents remained, and only about 10 of these families were descended from early pioneers (Ramona Sentinel
Nov. 24, 1977).
In the early 1 950s the area consisted of rural farms. A description in 1955 noted:
Poway today is a settlement rather than a town, for it covers a wide area , with no centralized district. T he post
office ... is near the center of the Valley. There are several stores scattered through the area, real estate
offices, poultry and turkey ranches , a number of good dairies, and many fruit and vegetable plantings some
covering large acreages . The settlement boasts an active Chamber of Commerce, Soil Conservation District,
and Water District, has a small newspaper, several churches, and a fine school. During the last few y ears the
modest homes of the older settlers have been improved, and many new expensive modern dwellings erected .
The biggest excitement at Poway just now concerns the developm ent of nearly a thousand acres of potential
avocado land (Southern California Rancher December 1 955).
During the closing years of the 1950s the area began to experience radical change. Improvements to Highway 395 following
World War II and th~ availability of Colorado River water in 1954 brought the establishment of a modern suburb. Following
formation of the Poway Municipal Water District in 1954, farms were broken up and subdivided, resulting in agricultural decline
(Ramona Sentinel Nov. 24, 1977). One of the first housing tracts was a 3,000 dwelling project that covered 1500 acres by Berlin
Construction Company (San Diego Union 1 0-20-1 957). An article in 1 957 stated, "According to a report just issued by Mrs. Marvel
Taunt, the efficient post mistress of Poway, the little inland settlement has now reached a popul ation of 1,564 pe rsons, a gain of
311 since the last postal ce nsus was taken in November 1956." The writer further stated that with Colorado River water "available
throughout the valley" hundreds were finding Poway "a delightful place to live, while they wo rk in t he airplane factories in San
Diego" (Southern California Rancher 1957).
The next 30 years saw extremely accelerated growth caused by Poway's proxi mity to San Diego's major employment centers, and
its rural-re side ntial nature, in which families could raise horses, while retaining a bedroom community environment. By 1960 the
valley's population had grown to 5 ,365. Ten years later it stood at 14,000. The community was" ... dotted with resi dential tracts.
It has new shopping centers, new schools, new streets, and a new traffic signal (its second). Among the residents are many Navy
families assigned to near-by Miramar Naval Air Station." In 1980 Poway incorporated as a city of 33,236 residents. By 1987 the
area's population was estimated at over 39,000 (Rancho Magazine 1987). The rural atmosphere that had attracted so many to
the valley had been almost obliterated by suburban expansion.

311 since the last postal ce nsus was taken in November 1956." The writer further stated that with Colorado River water "available
throughout the valley" hundreds were finding Poway "a delightful place to live, while they work in the airplane factories In San
Diego" (Southern California Rancher 1957).
The next 30 years saw extremely accelerated growth caused by Poway's proximity to San Diego's major employment centers, and
its rural-residential nature , in which families could raise horses, while retaining a bedroom community environment. By 1960 the
valley's population had grown to 5,365. Ten years later it stood at 14,000. The community was" ... dotted with res idential tracts.
It has new shopping centers, new schools, new streets, and a new traffic signal (its second). Among the residents are many Navy
families assigned to near-by Miramar Naval Air Station." In 1980 Poway incorporated as a city of 33,236 residents. By 1987 the
area's population was estimated at over 39 ,000 (Rancho Magazine 1987). The rura l atmosphere that had attracted so many to
the valley had been almost obliterated by suburban expansion.

Development of the present city of Poway is a result of the post World War II population boom that has engulfed Southern
California . The valley was originally the location of the Kumeyaay Indian Village of Paguay. The Mexican Period ranchos of San
Bernardo and Penasquitos covered areas adjacent to Poway Valley. Actual settlement of the area began in the late 19th century
as a dispersed agricultural settlement.
In 1870 Castanos Paine, owner of Paine's Rancho, a stage stop for travel from San Diego to northern San Diego County, appl ied
for and won appointment as Poway's first Postmaster. The main social life of the community at this time was the community
church and the Templer's Hall. Agriculture , beekeeping, and dairy ranching were the main occupations of the area's settlers.
Peaches, Muscat grapes, rai sins, hay, alfalfa, and tobacco were major crops. By 1882, Poway had 800 residents (Rancho
Magazine September 1987; San Diego Union 7-24-1879: 1:3 ). During the early 20th century, settlement in the area declined. By
1954 only 300 residents rem ained, and only about 1 0 of th ese families were descended from early pioneers (Ramona Sentinel
Nov. 24, 1977).
In the ea rly 1950s th e area consisted of rural farms. A description in 1955 noted:
Poway tod ay is a settlement rather than a town, for it covers a wide area, with no cen tralized distri ct. The post
office ... is near th e center of the Valley. There are several stores scattered through the area, real estate
offices, poultry and turkey ranches, a number of good dairies, and many fruit and vegetable plantings some
cov ering large acreages. The settlement boa sts an active Chamb er of Commerce , Soil Conservation District,
and W ate r District, has a small newspaper, several churches, and a fine school. During the last few years the
modest homes of the older settlers have been improved, and ma ny new expe nsive modern dwellings erected.
The biggest excitement at Poway just now concerns the development of nearly a thousand acres of pote ntial
avocado land (Southern California Rancher December 1955).
During the cl osing yea rs of the 1950s the area began to experience radical cha nge. Im prov ements to Highway 395 following
World War II and th e availability of Colorado River water in 1954 brought the establishment of a mod ern suburb. Following
formation of the Poway Municipal Water District in 1954, farm s were broken up and subdivided, resulting in agricu ltural decline .
(Ramona Sentinel Nov. 24, 1977). One of the first housing tracts was a 3,000 dwelling project that covered 1500 acres by Berlin
Con struction Company (San Diego Union 10-20-1957). An article in 1957 stated, "According to a report just issued by Mrs. Marvel
Taunt , the effi cient post mistress o f Poway, the little inland settl ement has now reached a population of 1,564 persons, a gain of
311 si nce the las t postal census was taken in No vember 1956." The writer further stated that with Colorado River water "available
throughout the valley" hundreds were finding Poway "a delightful pla ce to live, while they work in the airplane factories in S an
Diego" (Southern California Rancher 1957).
The next 30 years saw extremely accelerated growth caused by Poway's proximity to San Diego's major employment centers, and
its rural-res idential nature, in which families could ra ise hors es, while retaining a bedroom co mmunity environment. By 1960 the
valley's population had grown to 5,365. Ten years later it stood at 14,000. The co mmunity was" ... dotted with res idential tracts.
It has new shopping centers, new schools, new streets, and a new traffic s ignal (its second). Among the residents are many Navy

area's population w as estim ated at over 39,000 (Rancho Magazine 1987). The rural atmosphe re th at had attra cte d so many to
the valley had been almo st obliterated by s uburb an expa nsio n.

I. HIGHWAY PROJECT DESCRIPTION
District County Route Post Miles Expenditure Authorizations
11 San Diego Espola N.A. 965100-3ENVR
Road
The City of Poway proposes improvements to Espola Road, in the eastern portion of the City, in
order to accommodate projected traffic volumes through the year 2025 at acceptable levels of
service (LOS). Because the City proposes use of federal funds for the project, the undertaking is
subject to federal, as well as City anq State, environmental review requirements. The .proposed
project would provide improvements to Espola Road between approximately 1000 ft (305-m) south
of the intersection of Espola Road and Titan Way to 200 ft ( 61 m) south of the crossing of Espola
Road by Rattlesnake Creek. Improvements would consist of widening the two-lane road to a four-
lane major facility between the northern project terminus south of Titan Way to the intersection
of Espola Road and Twin Peaks Road, as well as necessary traffic safety, drainage, pedestrian and
landscaping improvements . A more detailed project description is included in the HPSR. The
project is funded in part with assistance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) and,
therefore, must comply with the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act and its promulgating regulations, as cited in 36CFR§800.
The project is located in the eastern portion of the City of Poway, between Twin Peaks Road on
the south and Titan Way/Eden Grove on the north. The roadway is within Township 13 South,
Range 1 West, Section 31, and Township 14 South, Range 1 West, Section 6, on the USGS 7 .5'
Poway quadrangle (Figures 1 and 2 in HPSR).
The study area was defined as 200ft (61 m) on each side of the centerline of the existing roadway
plus potential staging areas or other areas of impact outside the 200-ft (61 m) wide corridor (see
Figure 3 in HPSR). An archaeological survey of the study area was conducted by Affinis
archaeologists on October 11, 2002.
II. STUDY FINDINGS
No cultural resources were encountered during the survey of the Espola Road study area. One
archaeologic~~ site had been previously recorded in proximity to the right-of-way, but this small
lithic scatter appears to have been located about 250 ft (76 m) west of the roadway, outside the
current study area. In addition, the knoll top on which the site is mapped has been developed, and
the site has been destroyed.

Present Environment:
The northern portion of the project study area is underlain by Cretaceous granitic rocks; the
southern segment is underlain by Quaternary alluviurnfslopewash, undifferentiated, associated with
the Rattlesnake Creek drainage (Kennedy and Peterson 1975). Correspondingly, the soils found
in the northern portion are of the Fallbrook series, sandy loams formed in material weathered in
place from granodiorite. The soils along the southern section are sandy loams derived from
granitic alluvium. The northern segment of the project area supports Fallbrook sandy loam, 5 to
9 percent slopes; 9 to 15 percent slopes, eroded; and 9 to 30 percent slopes, severely eroded .
Small segments of Visalia sandy loam, 9 to 15 percent slopes, and Placentia sandy loam, 2 to 9
percent slopes, are also mapped in the north. Soils mapped in the southern portion are Placentia
sandy loam, thick surface, 0 to 2 percent slopes; Placentia sandy loam, thick surface, 2 to 9
percent slopes; and Ramona sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes (Bowman 1973).
The soils fotiild in the study area generally support chaparral , chamise, annual grasses , and
scattered oaks (Bowman 1973). Much of the study area is occupied by the existing road and
associated driveways, buildings (mainly residential), and landscaping . There is an area of coastal
sage scrub vegetation along one segment of the existing roadway. In the past, riparian habitat
would have been found along tributaries to Rattlesnake Creek that parallel Espola Road on the east
and west (see Figure 2 in the HPSR). These streams would have provided water, at least on a
seasonal basis, to native inhabitants.

Ethnography:
In the general vicinity of the project area, a number of recorded archaeological sites reflect the
human use of the area during historic and prehistoric times. The Native American culture group
that inhabited this portion of San Diego County were called Dieguefio by the Spanish, after the
Mission San Diego de Alcala, located in San Diego's Mission Valley . This culture group is
generally known as Kumeyaay; the ethnographic names Ipai and Tipai are sometimes used to
differentiate two regional Kumeyaay groups. The Late Prehistoric and ethnohistoric village of
Paguai is located in relative proximity to the Espola Road study area, as addressed below.

Results:
Seventeen archaeological sites have been recorded within a one-half mile radius of the study area .
The most frequently recorded site type (eight sites) is milling station, with bedrock milling features
(slicks, basins, or mortars) and, in some instances, a few artifacts. An additional site was
described as a processing site with bedrock milling features, artifacts, and midden soil. Five lithic
processing sites or flaking stations were recorded. One resource appears to represent a camp or
habitation location, and a portion of the ethnographic village of Paguai is located within one-half
mile of the study area. One site consists of two loci of historic debris .
About one-half mile west of the current project area, Rogers recorded SD M-W-213 (now CA -SD I-
4606), which he considered to be the ethnographic village of Paguai , in the early 1920s.
Kroeber's (1976) map of native sites in Southern California shows a village of "Pauwai". McKee
gave the following description of the area:
Historic records give no direct evidence of when the Indians abandoned the area
but Poway (Paguai) is listed as a Rancheria of San Diego Mission in the mission

records (Englehardt 1920:350), and Rancho Paguay (Poway) was granted to
Rosario Aguilar by Governor Juan B . Alvarado in 1840. There is no record that
he ever occupied the grant but real estate records from the San Diego Union of
Dec. 25, 1874 show that at least some of it was still in the possession of his heirs
(Davidson 1953). The first recorded date for white settlement was 1859 when
Philip Crosthwaite took up residence two miles south of the location of Poway I
[archaeological site CA-SDI-4606]. Indians resided in the valley at least into the
land boom of the 1880's. A Rancheria, approximately 1.5 miles southeast of
Poway I was reported as late as 1889 (Kear 1965:45) [McKee 1970:14].
Two residences appear just outside the study area on the 1930 USGS 15' La Jolla quadringle, the
1952 USGS 7.5' Poway Valley quadrangle, and on a 1928 aerial photograph on file at the County
of San Diego Cartographic Services. These two residences are located about 250ft east ofEspola
Road, between El Topo Drive and Golden Sunset Lane.
V. FIELD METHODS
The project study area was walked using parallel transects spaced approximately 33 ft (10 m)
apart, covering an area of 200 ft (61 m) on each side of the existing roadway (see Figure 3 in
HPSR). Over the majority of the study area, however, residences and associated landscaping are
located within 100 ft (30 m) of the roadway, and these backyards were not surveyed, due to
landscaping and other disturbance. Potential staging areas and other anticipated areas of impact
outside the 200 ft (61 m) study corridor were surveyed in their entirety using 33 ft (10 m)
transects. In areas where ground visibility was poor, an effort was made to move aside ground
cover (dead grasses or leaf duff) to allow better visibility. Rodent backdirt, dirt roads, and paths
were also checked.
VI. REMARKS
No historic or prehistoric archaeological resources were found during the current survey. No
