Chapter 12: The Great Plains and Prairies






The San Fernando valley is mainly considered to be a cosmopolitan area full of buildings, and cities; however, the valley does retain some rural areas. On the outer rim of the valley are areas that have sustained their natural vegetation. Allowing farmers to continue growing their own crops, and keeping its past. Prior to cultivation the San Fernando area was considered to be uninhabitable due to the lack of water available. It was not until they figured out a way to transport water to the valley constantly that they were able to survive. With the accessibility water came a change in the landscape; what was once a dry wasteland, became a vast valley of colors. Mulholland Drive is the best known mountain range that shows part of the water system, and the amazing topographical view the valley posses.
