For this Thanksgiving break, I plan to drive to San Diego. During my drive, I would be passing through the cities of Temecula, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore and the Canyon lake. These regions occurred quite frequently in the materials I had digitized the last couple of weeks. The weather conditions (rainfall and precipitation) in these regions played a major role in the negotiation of water prices as well as the supply of water to the people in these regions.
Most of the landowners in these regions negotiated prices on their own, which led to long discussions on finalizing common rates. There was frequent interaction between Willis S. Jones and the landowners through letters describing the weather conditions, negotiating water prices for a particular region, updates on the meetings that would take place between the landowners and so on. Driving through these regions would be really interesting and I am curious to stop by and see how the lands have changed now over the years and how the water supply has changed from the 1920s.
