Landforms
Mountains, deserts, etc.: In May of 1975 – more than 37 years ago – I drove from Malibu, California, to San Francisco. Shortly after pulling onto Interstate 5, I found myself on the Tejon Pass in Grapevine Canyon going through the Tehachapi Mountains. This was not the first highway pass I ever drove through.
Bodies Of Water, Rivers, Oceans: The largest rivers are the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers which drain into the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and thence to Suisun Bay. Other major rivers of the North Bay are the Napa River, the Petaluma River, the Gualala River, and the Russian River; the former two drain into San Pablo Bay, the latter two into the Pacific Ocean.
In the South Bay, the Guadalupe River drains into San Francisco Bay near Alviso.
