The place is on the map termed this day and age as The Colony, a mis-translation into the English dictionary.. COLONIA being translated as COLONY which has way different meanings in the two languages.

In current maps, you can find the place just south of the Mile Square Golf Course, with the cross streets being Warner Avenue and Ward Street.

The modern day Colonia Juarez varrio as we tend to associate gangs with, started in the 1960s with the CHEVELLES Car Club., then later they became the CJ DEMONS, and once they got started having trouble in the gang sense, it was with the close-by Huntington Beach Clovers and MoTowns.

Colonia Juarez ever since has remained small and tight, and their representation became mostly defunct by the 1980s, but even so, they're still around.
