Old Big Oak Flat Road (El Capitan)
(Long, Lat)
Description:
Big Oak Flat is a little mining village, on a little flat. The “big oak” which gave name to the place has been undermined and killed, although attempts were made to protect it by town ordinance. It was nearly ten feet in diameter, and in the days of its glory must have been a grand tree. Up and Down California: The Journal of William H. Brewer, 1860-1864 Book 4, Chp 3
