The patch of trees just below the center of this photo was where my grandfather, Manuel Madruga, established a dairy in 1919.  He came here from Holtville with his new bride, her mother, and her blind sister — all from Massachusetts.  My grandmother’s name was Adeline Mae Sears, an Anglicized version of the Portuguese “Soares”. She was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts on "Portagee Hill". She was the first one of  my ancestral line not born on the Portuguese island of Pico, Azores, almost all  from the same small village of Ribeiras.  That was also the case for many of the early Portuguese that first settled in the Point Loma neighborhood of La Playa — Jeff Madruga

I think most of the trees, in the photo above, were part of Kenmore Stables, owned by M H Golden and his family.  Apparently it was adjoined by the Mission Valley Polo Club.  All of that today, I think, is Fashion Valley.  In attempting to place a date on the photo I did a deep dive into the Union-Tribune archives to research "Cabrillo Freeway" and "Mission Valley Freeway".  See the results below -- John Fry
