Lee Lake, is a reservoir created by the Lee Lake 818-002 Dam across Temescal Creek, in Riverside County, California. It lies at an elevation of 1,122 feet. ==History== The dam created a reservoir over the site of a small natural lake, called ''Lagunita'', that already existed along the course of Temescal Creek in that location in the 19th century, and appears in an 1860 Temescal Survey Map.〔( Anne J. Miller Ph. D., The Southern Emigrant Trail Through Riverside County, AuthorHouse, Aug 1, 2012, pp.63, 66 (1860 Temescal Survey Map) )〕 In May, 1886 the South Riverside Land and Water Company was incorporated, and it purchased the lands of Rancho La Sierra of Bernardo Yorba, and the Rancho Temescal grant where the colony of South Riverside (later Corona) was laid out. They also secured the water rights to Temescal Creek, its tributaries and Lee Lake. Dams and pipelines were built to carry the water to the colony.〔( Rose L. Ellerbee,''History of Temescal Valley'', Publications of the Historical Society of Southern California, Volume 11, 1918 pp.18-19 )〕 By the time the U. S. Geoglogical Survey mapped the area in 1897-98 for the Elsinore Quadrangle, California the dam and Lee Lake appear on the map.〔( Elsinore 1898 1:125,000 ) from lib.utexas.edu Perry-Castañeda Library, Map Collection, California Topographic Maps accessed July 1, 2015.〕 Recently it has been called ''Corona Lake'' by a fishing enterprise that operates there.〔(Corona Lake ) from fishinglakes.com accessed July 1, 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lee Lake (Temescal Wash)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
