Jackson Creek Description

Jackson Creek is a stream in Amador County, California, which is linked to gold mining during the California Gold Rush era. There is a modern controversy associated with proposal of a water pipeline by the Amador Water Agency, which facility could detract from the flow on Jackson Creek.[1] Jackson Creek is dammed to create Lake Amador using a 193-foot (59 m) high earth and rock construction; this dam was constructed in the year 1965. Tree cover in much of the watershed approaches 80 percent, with dominant tree species including Interior Live Oak, Quercus wislizinii, Black Oak, Quercus kellogii, Blue Oak, Quercus douglasiiigger, Pinus sabiniana, Ponderosa Pine, Pinus ponderosa, Oregon Ash, Fraxinus latifolia and California Buckeye, Aesculus californica.[2]
