A valley between the Cholame Hills and the Castle Mountain RAnge spur of the Diablo Range. Cholame Valley is an elongate northwest-southeast trending basin in the Coast Range Mountains of southern Monterey County and northern San Luis Obsipo County. The elevation ranges from approximately 1,100 at the southern end to 1,700 feet near the small town of Parkfield. The basin is comprised of Quaternary alluvium and is bounded to the south west by the Plio-Pleistocene nonmarine Paso Robles formation and by Quaternary non marine terrace deposits to the northeast (Jenkins 1968). Cholame Creek and its tributaries drain the valley southeastward and then westward to the Salinas Valley. Average precipitation values range from 11 to 17 inches, increasing northward.
