Note also - For a tour of this section of the river in greater detail, you can visit Ken Adelman's experimental website "Pajaro River Survey" which has very detailed aerial images of this sector of the river. You can visit this site by clicking here. Then either use the buttons at the top of the page or click a location on the thumbnail map to traverse the river.

Map After a number of creeks and rivers have joined together in the Soap Lake basin, this combined stream (identified along this final stretch as the Pajaro River) flows through the Chittenden Gap, skirts downtown Watsonville to the south, and finally empties into the Pacific Ocean.
