is incorrect.  Luiseño territory extended south to include Agua Hedionda, San Marcos, Escondido, and Valley Center.  South of these places Batiquitos, Encinitas, San Dieguito, San Bernardo, San Pascual, Guejito, and Mesa Grande were held by Diegueños.  Up San Luis Rey river the Luiseños extended to Puerta Noria (or Yqnoria) and Puerta de la Cruz.  Above these places San Jose was held by Diegueños.  On the coast northward the Luiseños extended to between Las Flores and San Onofre, the former belonging to them, the latter to the closely related Juaneños of Capistrano.  Northward in the interior Temecula, Santa Rosa, Aguanga, Paula, Elsinore lake, and San Jacinto were Luiseño, although the latter with some change of dialect.  The principal village (or "tribe") at San Jacinto is Saboba, called by the Luiseños Sovovo and the people Sovovoyam.  Temescal creek, flowing out of Elsinore lake, was partly Luiseño and partly Gabrieliño.  The Luiseños apparently nowhere reached the crest of the San Jacinto divide, the upper waters of San Luis Rey river being held as stated by the Diegueños and the Agua Caliente people, the head waters of Santa Margarita river by Cahuillas, on the site of the present Cahuilla reservation, and farther north the San Gorgonio mountains being occupied by Serranos or Cahuillas or both.
