Little Cholame Creek
Little Cholame Creek is a perennial stream in southeastern Monterey County, California, United States. The headwaters rise from an unnamed peak 2 miles (3 kilometres) southwest of Reason Mountain, in the southern part of the Diablo Range. From there, the creek flows southeast along Parkfield-Coalinga Road, before reaching confluence with Cholame Creek.
History
"Cholame" is a Yokuts Native American word meaning "the beautiful one". The creek runs through the northern part of Cholame Valley, along Parkfield-Coalinga Road, and on through the small town of Parkfield before crossing the San Andreas Fault and merging with Cholame Creek.
