| Landmark #557 | Riverside County | Visited: November 20, 2011 | Plaque? YES! 🙂 |
| What is it? | A giant boulder with an intricate maze scratched into it! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: This pictograph, representing a maze, is an outstanding example of the work of prehistoric peoples. It, with 5.75 acres of land, was donated to Riverside County as a county park on April 16, 1956 by Mr. and Mrs. Rodger E. Miller.
OTHER TIDBITS: Given Riverside County’s penchant for plaque theft, it’s great that this one is protected by two barbed wire fences! Still, I wish that weren’t necessary! No one knows for sure what the mazes mean or really who created them, but theories range from Mayan ancestors to lost Chinese sailors! |
