The Stoddard-Waite Monument marks the place where the Old Spanish Trail and Mormon Road passed through Cajon Canyon near Cajon Pass in modern-day San Bernardino County, California. In 1849, Sheldon Stoddard and Sydney P. Waite (whose names the monument bears) passed through the area as members of wagon trains headed to California.
