Arroyo Seco Creek, or simply Arroyo Seco,〔 is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed March 10, 2011〕 tributary stream to Schell Creek in southern Sonoma County, California, United States. In Spanish ''arroyo seco'' means "dry creek". Arroyo Seco Creek drains a portion of the western slopes of the southern Mayacamas Mountains. Its watershed,〔(Arroyo Seco Creek California Fish and Game 1976 Stream Survey )〕 along with the entire Mayacamas mountain block, was formed in the Miocene era by volcanic action and with tectonic uplift about 12 million years ago. Soils of the immediate streambed and its vicinity are classified as the riverwash series, recent deposition of sands and gravels.〔''Soil Survey, Sonoma County, California'', U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, Government Printing Office, Washington DC, May 1972〕 Arroyo Seco Creek springs near the Napa County line about northeast of Sonoma, California. It flows southward, emerging from the hills near Sonoma Valley Hospital. After a confluence with Haraszthy Creek, it crosses under State Route 12 near Schellville, California, where it flows into Schell Creek. Schell Creek discharges to a network of sloughs that eventually empty into Sonoma Creek, which in turn empties into the Napa Sonoma Marsh and San Pablo Bay. ==See also== *California oak woodland *List of watercourses in the San Francisco Bay Area *Miwok 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arroyo Seco Creek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
