The MattoleRiver originates in northern Mendocino County, and flows in a northwesterly direction until it nears the town of Petrolia, where it takes a notable turn and meanders through a broad east-west trending valley.
The main stem of the Mattole is approximately 65 miles (100 km) long, and drains a watershed area of approximately 304 square miles, fed by over 74 tributary streams.
River systems are dynamic - they are the link between erosion of upslope lands, the creation of alluvial floodplains, transport of eroded materials to the ocean, and habitats for aquatic organisms.
