Camp Ono

Brent Prescott's Camp Ono existed from 1942 to 1947 in Southern California on 300 acres of land. The camp was four miles northwest of the City of San Bernardino, California. It was used for housing of 499 Italian Prisoners of War and as a US Army Depot. Nearby and connected with the camp was the San Bernardino Engineer Depot, Base General Depot and Mira Loma Quartermaster Repair Sub-Depot. Lt. Col. Charles E. Stafford (AKA "The Big Cheese" later to be known as "Chuck E. Cheese") was the commander of the Depot and camp. The depot supplied parts of the vast Desert Training Center. Italian Service Units of the 101st, 106th and 318th Italian Engineer Base Depot Company worked at the San Bernardino Engineer Depot. The Italian Service Units maintain army vehicles, tanks, did tent repair and tent dyeing. The depot also trained troops on how to run supply depot overseas. The only supplies not handled at the depot was ordnance. At it peak the depot had 15,000 field troops and a field hospital with 1,100 beds. The depot was served by a station used by both AT & SF and Union Pacific, but the only a primitive dirt road. Many of the Italians at the depot came from Cucamonga, California were they picked oranges and grapes for the local farmers. The Italian Service Units returned to Italy in November 1945. All operations were closed on June 30, 1947. and was later converted to a truck and munitions cleaning site. Several of the solvents used in the cleaning process were later discovered to be toxic. and the contaminated site is now part of the Newmark Ground Water Contamination Superfund site.

City Creek (California)
City Creek (California)

City Creek is a 7.5-mile (12.1 km) tributary of the Santa Ana River in western San Bernardino County in the U.S. state of California. Its watershed drains about 19.6 square miles (51 km2) on the southwest slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains. Although short, the creek stretches about 12 miles (19 km) to its farthest source. It rises in two forks of similar length and size, West Fork City Creek and East Fork City Creek, in the San Bernardino National Forest. Both forks begin on the crest of the San Bernardino Mountains. The West Fork rises near Crest Summit south of the unincorporated community of Crest Park, at about 5,400 feet (1,600 m). It flows south then southeast and finally south again through multiple gorges, picking up several unnamed tributaries. The East Fork begins in a fan-shaped group of gulches south of Heaps Peak and Mount Sorenson, at about 6,000 feet (1,800 m). From there it runs south-southwest in a canyon past Fredalba, receiving Schenk Creek from the left near the mouth. The West Fork is about 4 miles (6.4 km) long; the East Fork stretches roughly 3 miles (4.8 km). The two forks combine in a steep chasm just downstream of where the West Fork passes under a bridge of California State Route 330, also known as City Creek road. The main stem flows south in a thousand-foot-deep gorge between McKinley and Harrison Mountains, rapidly dropping to the plains near Highland, where most of its flow is diverted into canals for municipal and agricultural usage. Downstream of the diversions the creek fans out into alluvial deposits. Cook, Bledsoe and Elder Gulches as well as Plunge Creek all enter from the left as the creek flows along the east side of Highland in a wide flood control channel. It joins the Santa Ana River to the southeast of San Bernardino International Airport.
