San Antonio Creek (San Bernardino County)
San Antonio Creek is a major stream in Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County, California, draining southwards from Mount San Antonio in the San Gabriel Mountains into Chino Creek, a tributary of the Santa Ana River. The creek is long〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ). Accessed 2011-04-25〕 and has a drainage basin of about . Upon entering the lowlands of the Inland Empire, it is known as the San Antonio Wash or the San Antonio Creek Channel, the former referring to the creek's dry nature below the mouth of San Antonio Canyon.
It rises on the southeast flank of Mount San Antonio, the highest peak in the San Gabriel mountain range. The stream flows southwest through San Antonio Canyon and past Mount Baldy Village, then south, winding through the Angeles National Forest. At the end of the gorge, it reaches the San Antonio Dam, but after passing through the dam, the stream is usually dry. It flows south through a concrete flood control channel, passing through the cities of the Pomona Valley which are Claremont, Montclair, and Chino. The creek joins Chino Creek in northwestern Chino, upstream from the larger stream's mouth at the Santa Ana.
The creek's upper canyon was the site of some of the heaviest gold mining activity in the San Gabriels during the mid-19th century. When the gold deposits petered out, the streambanks played host to various mountain resort camps beginning in the early 20th century. Also around this time, canals were built from the mouth of San Antonio Canyon to irrigate farms in the creek's wide floodplain. The Los Angeles Flood of 1938 destroyed much of the early development along the creek. The San Antonio Dam was built in the 1960s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide flood control. In recent years, the watershed has become much more urbanized, and the headwaters region is mainly used for recreation, specifically skiing.
