The
Calleguas Creek Watershed covers approximately 343 square
miles, in southeastern Ventura County. The Watershed
includes Conejo Creek, Arroyo Santa
Rosa, Arroyo Simi, Arroyo Las Posas,
and Calleguas Creek, as well as Revolon
Slough and Mugu Lagoon.
The northern boundary is formed by the
Santa Susana Mountains, South Mountain,
and Oak Ridge Mountains. The southern boundary
is distinguished by the Simi Hills and
Santa Monica Mountains. Presently 50 percent
of the Watershed is undeveloped open space,
25 percent is agricultural, and the remaining
25 percent is in urban land use. The Watershed
ultimately drains to the Pacific Ocean
through Mugu Lagoon.
