~ This shows a small portion of the Zanja, (Spanish for "ditch"), the original irrigation system that was dug through Redlands to carry water for Indian villages, pioneer settlers, citrus groves, ranchers, and eventually, domestic households in Redlands. It was dug in 1819-1820 by Cahuilla Indians. Remnants of the Zanja remain today, and carry water during rainy seasons. Judith Sparhawk
