Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 1.4 square miles (3.6 km²), all of it land. Two streams drain the area, the Salt and Elk Creeks. The Salt Creek flows north in the area, then bends east, and is joined by Elk Creek. Both streams join Sand Creek a half mile northeast of the town, and flow in a northeast direction [Wagner, D.L., and Bortugno, E.J., California Department of Mines and Geology Report, 1982] . Salt Creek is subject to periodic flooding during heavy rainfall. ["Arbuckle Estates Environmental Impact Report", Earth Metrics Inc, City of Arbuckle report, 1990]
