The individual trees in the middle of the grapes here is the remnant of the riparian zone of McClure Creek, which flows through the picture from left to right. The picture was taken looking south of Mendocino County Road 200. Photo by Patrick Higgins. July 15, 2003.

The Ukiah Water Works are depicted here near the Russian River on the west side of the river in Ukiah. The city gets its water from the Russian River, although water extraction in this reach may be limited in terms of damage to aquatic habitat because of excess water from the Eel River.
