User:Skinnerbird/Zimpher Creek (California)

Zimpher Creek is a tributary of the Laguna de Santa Rosa, approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) long, in Sebastopol,California in the United States. Via the Laguna de Santa Rosa, it is part of the Russian River watershed. It drains an area of the northeastern area of Sebastopol, between the watersheds of Calder to the south and an unnamed creek to the north.

Course
Zimpher Creek is fed by a spring in western Sebastopol, California just west of Zimpher Drive, between Viola and Patricia Courts. The stream flows generally easterward through central Sebastopol, crossing under North Main Street near Keating Avenue and flowing under McKinley Street and joins the Laguna de Santa Rosa, about 0.25 mi (.5 km) east of Sebastopol's downtown. The stream has been incorporated into the City of Sebastopol's storm sewer system and flows underground for most of its length. The two open sections include a stretch from just east of Zimpher Drive to the end of Bately Court, and the final 150 feet west of Morris Street to its confluence with the Laguna de Santa Rosa.
