Bartlett Creek is a creek in Lake County, California. It is a tributary of North Fork Cache Creek.

Description

Bartlett Creek is a 6.5 miles (10.5 km) long tributary of North Fork Cache Creek. Its mouth is at an elevation of 1,631 feet (497 m).[1] A bridge crosses the creek about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) above its mouth. At this point the creek undergoes a transition from a trout stream to a cyprinid and sucker stream.[2]

The creek drains the Bartlett Management Area of the Mendocino National Forest. The terrain is moderately steep and rugged, with elevations from 1,400 to 4,800 feet (430 to 1,460 m).[3] The Köppen climate classification is Csb : Warm-summer Mediterranean climate.[4] Vegetation is mainly chamise and chaparral on the south slopes, and stands of timber on the ridgetops and north slopes.[3]

Mineral springs

Bartlett Springs is near the head of Bartlett Creek.[5] The Allen Springs are in the Bartlett Creek[lower-alpha 1] canyon 3 miles (4.8 km) below Bartlett Springs on the road between Williams and Bartlett Springs.[8]

Notes

  1. Waring (1915) says the Allen Springs are in the Allen Creek canyon rather than the Bartlett Creek canyon, but otherwise describes a location that agrees with Hamilton (1915) and mindat.[6][7]
