Mission Dam & Wells |
| San Fernando Mission Wells. Access to water was a deciding factor in locating many of the missions. A few miles north east of Mission San Fernando were cienegas, or swamp lands, with natural springs. This availability of water influenced the Franciscan Padres into locating Mission San Fernando Rey de España near these cienegas. The wells are still supplying water to the LA DWP. The wells are on DWP property and access is limited but they can be seen from the gate. The Mission Wells are located at Havana and Bleeker Streets. The wells were declared L.A. Historic Cultural Monument 50 on May 10, 1967. Photo Date: 1-17-04 |
