Sepulveda Dam days
Nestled between the 405 and the 101 in Van Nuys is the Sepulveda Dam. The structure, guarded by barbed wire fences, lies about a mile across a blighted field from a parking lot near the Hjelti Recreation Area. The dam was completed in late December, 1941.There is some additional information here in addition to the pictures linked above.
This is one of those places I've wanted to take a closer look at since I first saw it from the highway. When I hopped the fence, a kindly Army Corps of Engineers official told me I had just broken the law, and suggested I leave when I was done taking pictures.
