The San Francisco Guide says:
At 5.3 m. is the junction with a paved road; L. here to the junction with Canada Road, 12 m.; R. here to the WATER TEMPLE, structure inscribed: "I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert to my people." This is the west end of the Hetch Hetchy pipe line. Canada Road continues south through oak-covered hills to Woodside.
Today this is known as the Pulgas Water Temple. It is the western terminus of the Hetch Hetchy pipeline, which brings water from the Sierra Nevadas to the San Francisco Peninsula. The rate ends up flowing to the Crystal Springs Reservoir.
