Not much has changed in the park over the last 69 years since the book was published with the exception of the addition of several memorials and monuments over the decades.
Coordinates will lead you to the grove of trees from the battlefields of the Civil War as mentioned above. The park and its monuments are described in a virtual tour at the California State Capitol Museum web page.
