The tree was introduced into the United States from Bahia, Brazil, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1870. Twelve young trees were received and buds from them were propagated on sweet orange seedlings. In 1873 two of these greenhouse-grown trees, which were distributed throughout the United States, were sent to Mrs. Eliza Tibbets in Riverside.

<h4>Plaque text:</h4>
In 1932, pilot George Palmer spotted six giant figures etched in the ground along the Colorado River. Called intaglios or geoglyphs, these figures range from 95 feet to 171 feet in length: three humanoid, two animals, and one spiral. They were made by scraping away dark desert varnish to expose lighter soil underneath and may range in age from 1540 CE to 900 BCE. The figures share similarities with modern Quechan mythology, chiefly Mastamho, the creator. <br /><br />
<p>Plaque placed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with the California Landmark Foundation and the Bill Beaver project on April 16, 2023.</p>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OHP description:</span></h4>
Times of origin and meaning of these giant figures, the largest of which is 167 feet long and the smallest 95 feet, remain a mystery. There are three figures, two of animals and one of a coiled serpent, and some interesting lines. (Sandstone pebbles glazed on one side with 'desert varnish,' strewn over the surface of the mesa, have been moved away, leaving the earth forming the figures, the pebbles were placed in windrows about the edge as an outline.)

Saahatpa<br /><br />Chief Juan Antonio and his band of Cahuilla Indians helped white settlers in the San Bernardino area defend their property and livestock against outlaws during the 1840s and 1850s. In late 1851, Juan Antonio, his warriors and their families, settled at nearby Saahatpa. During the winter of 1862-63, a smallpox epidemic swept through Southern California killing many Native Americans, including Juan Antonio. Cahuilla tradition asserts that the U.S. Government sent Army blankets that were contaminated with smallpox. After this disaster, Saahatpa was abandoned.<br /><br />Orignially registered August 17, 1860.

Mission Inn<br /><br />Frank A. Miller (1857-1935) made adobe bricks for a small 12 room guest house which he opened in 1876. Over the years by successive building additions he fulfilled his dream by recreating this early California mission style setting of a hotel.<br /><br />Plaque placed by the California State Park Commission in cooperation with the Mission Inn Garden Hotel. October 21, 1961.<br />
<h4>Private plaque text:</h4>
The Mission Inn portrays the style and grace of a golden era, built by Frank Miller beginning in 1882, the Mission Inn's magnificent ambiance took a span of 66 years to be completed. Miller had the foresight to recognize that Riverside was becoming a major tourist attraction for wealthy easterners and Europeans seeking investment opportunities in the profitable citrus industry. More than anything, the Mission Inn is an artful and architectural tribute to the vision, eclecticism and eccentricity of Frank Miller; one that deserves to be experienced by all who happen upon it.<br /><br />Re-dedicated in truth, liberty and toleration October 23, 1993. Re-dedicated by Grand Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West, Philip D. Wong, Grand President.

On January 1, 1776, the first party of colonists to come overland to the Pacific Coast crossed the Santa Ana River south of this marker and camped between here and the river. Recruited in the presidios of Sonora, Mexico and led by Lieutenant Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza, who had established the trail a year earlier, this humble and heroic band of 242 men, women, and children continued north to found San Francisco, thus setting a boundary to Russian expansion from the north. Three precarious missions were maintained by uncertain ocean voyages prior to the opening of de Anza's trail. Afterward, the flourishing missions and ranchos of Spanish California sprang from the droves of cattle, sheep, and horses brought over the trail.<br /><br />This marker provided by Riverside Pioneer Historical Society, De Anza Caballeros, Native Daughters of the Golden West Jurupa Parlor No. 196.

<h4>Plaque text:</h4>
Palo Verde Irrigation District Diversion Dam 1957-2007 <br /><br />Dedicated to the many pioneers that recognized the potential and value to our Valley of a gravity irrigation system, and the sacrifices made obtaining it. In particular, to honor the following three persons, whose contributions uniquely contributed to the construction of our Dam, and to the early development of the Palo Verde valley: <br /><br />O.P. Calloway (1820-1880) The adventurer-explorer who had the original vision of a vibrant Palo Verde Valley, fed by the waters of the Colorado River. <br /><br />Ed Williams (1866-1954) Without whose early efforts in fighting an untamed river, the Valley may have been lost to the elements and forces of nature. <br /><br />Wayne H. Fisher (1892-1962) Without whose effors in re-organizing and re-financing the Valley during the Great Depression, our farmers may have been lost to despair and bankruptcy.
<p></p>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OHP description:</span></h4>
On July 17, 1877, Thomas Blythe, a San Francisco financier, filed the first legal claim for Colorado River water rights. Oliver Callaway planned a diversion dam and canal which opened in 1877 to irrigate the Palo Verde Valley. This made possible the settlement and development of the valley.

<h4>State plaque text:</h4>
Desert Training Center, California-Arizona Maneuver Area<br /><br />The D.T.C. was established by Major General George S. Patton, Jr., in response to a need to train American combat troops for battle in North Africa during World War II. The camp, which began operation in 1942, covered 18,000 square miles. It was the largest military training ground ever to exist. Over one million men were trained at the eleven sub-camps (seven in California).<br /><br />Plaque placed by the State Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with the General Patton Memorial Museum and the Bureau of Land Management, November 11, 1989. <br />
<h4>Private plaque text:</h4>
The Desert Training Center<br />Camp Young<br /><br />Maj. Gen. George S. Patton Jr., U.S. Army, selected Camp Young as headquarters site for the Desert Training Center in March 1942. Camp Young was the administrative center for a simulated theater of operations that would eventually extend from Pomona, CA to Phoenix AZ, from Yuma, AZ, to Boulder City, NV, and would include a network of training facilities at Camps Clipper, Coxcomb, Granite, Ibis, Iron Mountain and Pilot Knob in California, and Camps Bouse, Horn, Hyder and Laguna in Arizona. Between 1942 and 1944, over one million men trained on the surrounding desert and participated in the most realistic war games under the harshest conditions imaginable. In a very important sense, many battles of World War II were won on these desert lands during those maneuvers.<br /><br />This memorial is dedicated to the soldiers of the U.S. Army who participated in these events. The spirit which they displayed generated a spark that spread into every oversees theater in which they served.

Harada House is a two-story residence in Riverside, built sometime before 1887. From 1915 it was purchased by Jukichi Harada, a Japanese immigrant. The house became the subject of a 1918 landmark Superior Court decision granting the Harada family the right to own the property, challenging an anti-immigrant and racist property ownership law that forbade immigrants from Asia from owning property in California. The property is a National Historic Landmark and is significant for its association with an individual, Jukichi Harada, who had a profound influence on the history of California.

The Donaldson Futuro is significant as an example of America's collective confidence as a leader in space flight, technological advancement, and economic prosperity. Designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, the space-age home was the first futuro to arrive in California, in 1969, and the only futuro in California to obtain a building permit for residential occupancy. Its modern futuristic space-age design, materials, and workmanship retain a high level of integrity from its period of significance. The property is identified as the Donaldson Futuro in recognition of the owners Wayne and Laurie Donaldson's extensive restoration effort that successfully preserved this fragile resource and raised the profile of early mid-century plastic buildings.<br /><br />Plaque placed by the state Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with architect Milford Wayne Donaldson FAIA; the Idyllwild Area Historical Society; and the Ancient and Honorable Order of E Clampus Vitus, John P. Squibob chapter and the Billy Holcolm chapter, April 16, 2022.<br />
