Sorry, GPSer1, but this site was not Warner's movie Ranch, but Harry Warner's personal ranch. The Warner 2,800 acre shooting ranch was in Calabassas just south of the Ventura Freeway, just southeast of this location. Part of it is now the Calabassas Golf and Country Club.

I believe that the correct pronunciation would be "Los Feh-LEES." Though Gringos prefer to Americanize the pronunciation as "Los FEE-liss."

Warner Bros. movie ranch (Closed)
Warner Brothers began buying up land in the Calabasas area in 1936 and amassed 2,800 acres. This was the studio's location ranch where films such as National Velvet were shot. The studio sold the land in 1959, and part of it became the Warner Center area of Woodland Hills.

It appears that PJ57 is correct. Using the web site at http://www.erha.org/pewsfv.htm I have traced the route mile by mile from the start of the line in Santa Monica. The terminus appears to be approximately the corner of Sherman Way and Mason or Cozycroft (identified by the obsolete name Mission Acres), some 2 miles to the east of this location. From this terminus another line ran north to Plummer Ave. A look at the map shows that this location does not have a north/south route that reaches Plummer. One can reasonably conclude that the Sherman & Mason location must approximately be the correct one.
The term Owensmouth refers both to a street in Canoga Park and was the name of the community before it became Canoga Park. Use of the term Owensmouth in connection to this part of the San Fernando Red Car line probably refers to the community, not the street. While Owensmouth Ave. is close, the Owensmouth section of the line most likely referred to the community of Owensmouth.
PJ57 is close, as well, on the date this terminus was closed--June 1, 1938 and terminus moved to Sherman Way and Van Nuys Blvd. until the line was finally abandoned in 1952 in favor of bus travel.
So the question remains, what is this odd piece of land? Something probably happened here. It's shape lends itself to that conclusion. Is it possible that it was a trolley car roundabout but not part of the public line? Was it part of a different rail system? Was it part of the agricultural transportation system that existed throughout the area?
As soon as I can get some verification that the Sherman & Mason location is the correct one, I will delete this place and create a new tag at that location. If we can find out what really happened here, we can simply change the description and leave the tag in place.
End of dissertation!
