Before the Los Angeles River was put in a concrete channel, flooding would happen frequently, especially in the San Fernando Valley. There's an area in the Valley that's called the Sepulveda Basin that is essentially marked off for non-development just to help control flooding. Here's a few historical pics of the Valley: Canoga Park High. Topanga Canyon Blvd. 1914 Showing the LA River overflowing in North Hollywood. 1938 Topanga Cyn Blvd again after the school was rebuilt. 1950 [ Edited by: vintagegirl on 2005-01-11 21:17 ]
