 A noteworthy collection are these two drawing of the Wadsworth Fort located in Mountainville (the name before it changed to Alpine. When the settlers first moved to a settlement they often built forts for protection from the local Indians.

Details: a road went through the inside of this fort, an irrigation ditch traveled all the way around the inside, there was a corral and pond. Individual homes provide part of the wall.
