1. The Valley Marker
Lagoon Valley with its hills and spring-fed lake, provided centuries of good living for
the Ulatis Indians who found this valley
very well suited for their survival. The
hills were rich in oak trees, acorns,
berries and herbs. Large game such as
elk, deer, antelope and bear were hunted
here. The hills provided natural supplies
that the Indians used for tools, hunting,
and shelter. The sandstone rocks in these
hills still bear the mortar-holes where
acorns were ground. The lake was a wealth
of waterfowl, fish and aquatic plants. In
the 1800s, Spanish settlers enjoyed the same
good living here. Today the area provides same
farming and recreational activities.Topics. This historical marker is listed in this topic list: Native Americans.
