The plaque says, "While the oilfield here remains active, the earlier community is gone. Dwindlingg oil reserves and technology reduced the number of employees, flood water from these canyons made life hazardous, and suburban development become increasingly attractive.
What visitors find today is a new mix of old elements. The history of Olinda is preserved in and around a museum and along the park's trail. Old oil wells with new equipment content pumping. New homes sit atop the streets and homes sites of boomtown Olinda. Both native and introduces plants and animals live along the park's trail, and panoramic vistas offer views of ever-changing Orange County."
