Cottonwood Creek is known for the runs of what genus of Pacific salmon?
Cottonwood Creek (Sacramento River) Cottonwood Creek is a major stream in Northern California in the United States and is a tributary of the Sacramento River. About 68 mi long measured to its uppermost tributaries, the creek drains a large rural area bounded by the crest of the Coast Ranges, traversing the northwestern Sacramento Valley before emptying into the Sacramento River near the town of Cottonwood. For its entire length, it defines the boundary of Shasta County and Tehama County. Because Cottonwood Creek is the largest undammed tributary of the Sacramento River, it is known for its Chinook salmon and steelhead runs.
Milliken Creek (California) Milliken Creek is an 11.9 mi stream in Napa County, California that is tributary to the Napa River. There are approximately 7300 acre in this watershed, of which 90 acre are developed as vineyards. Milliken Creek rises on the western slopes of the east side of the Napa Valley and flows through the Silverado Country Club property. Much of this watershed property had once been part of the Mexican land grant Rancho Yajome, which had been granted to General Mariano G. Vallejo. Most of this watershed was wilderness area to at least 1869, and thereafter the lower watershed was begun to be developed as pasture and grazing agricultural uses. In an 1989 stream survey by Earth Metrics, the steelhead fishery was found to be robust up to and including the Silverado Country Club.
