The fifth Pacific Railroad Survey led by Lt. Robert Stockton Williamson and Colonel John Parke visited Little Rock Creek in 1853, as they surveyed the north slope of the San Gabriel Mountains. The first non-native settlement in the area was Santiago García, who was born circa 1833. He built an adobe which on the north side of Little Rock Creek approximately to the east of where the creek turned from north to east near Totem Pole Ranch. At this wet spot, where the San Andreas fault system forced water to the surface, the Garcia cienaga was located. Santiago Garcia was killed in 1873 by a grizzly bear in what was later named Santiago Canyon.〔
