San Francisquito Canyon - St. Francis Dam Ruins Santa Clarita, California This area of San Francisquito Canyon was immediately downstream of St Francis Dam. Chunks of the concrete structure of the dam that washed away in the abrupt collapse still litter the landscape, slowly eroding. ------------------------ The St. Francis Dam was a curved concrete gravity dam, built to create a large regulating and storage reservoir for the city of Los Angeles, California. The reservoir was an integral part of the city's Los Angeles Aqueduct water supply infrastructure. It was located in San Francisquito Canyon of the Sierra Pelona Mountains, about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, and approximately 10 miles north of the present day city of Santa Clarita. The dam was designed and built between 1924 and 1926 by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, then named the Bureau of Water Works and Supply. The department was under the direction of its General Manager and Chief Engineer, William Mulholland. At 11:57 p.m. on March 12, 1928, the dam catastrophically failed, and the resulting flood took the lives of what is estimated to be at least 431 people. Given the known height of the flood wave, and that within seventy minutes or less after the collapse the reservoir was virtually empty, the failure must have been sudden and complete. Seconds after it began, little of what had been the dam remained standing, other than the center section and wing wall. The main dam, from west of the center section to the wing wall abutment atop the hillside, broke into several large pieces, and numerous smaller pieces. All of these were washed downstream as 12.4 billion gallons of water began surging down San Francisquito Canyon. The largest piece, weighing approximately 10,000 tons was found about three-quarters of a mile below the dam site.
