Lagunitas Creek
Lagunitas Creek is a long northward-flowing stream in Marin County, California. It is critically important as it supports the largest spawning runs of endangered coho salmon (''Oncorhynchus kistuch'') in the "Central California Coast Coho salmon Evolutionary Significant Unit" (CCC ESU).〔 〕 The stream's headwaters begin on the northern slopes of Mt. Tamalpais in the Coast Range and terminate in southeast Tomales Bay northwest of Point Reyes Station, California.〔 Lagunitas Creek feeds multiple man-made reservoirs on Mt. Tamalpais that are the major supply of drinking water to the county.〔
==History==
To the Coast Miwok the stream was known as Tokelalume, then by the Spanish as Arroyo de San Geronimo. Now the "San Geronimo" survives only as the San Geronima Creek tributary. The modern name, Lagunitas Creek, is derived from the several "lagunitas" (Spanish for "little lakes") which have now been turned into reservoirs by dams in the upper watershed. It was once known as Paper Mill Creek because Samuel P. Taylor built a paper mill on the creek in Taylorville. This mill, the Pioneer Paper Mill, was built in 1856, the first in California.〔 〕〔 〕
