Studying Orange County Plants by Bob Allen California Native Plant Society, Orange County Chapter
Studying Orange County Plants By Bob Allen California Native Plant Society, Orange County Chapter http://www.occnps.org/ So, you want to learn about wild plants in Orange County? This little guide should get you started. Geography The geographic features of our area extend a bit beyond our geopolitical borders. Thus we share some natural features with our neighboring counties: Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego. The following are our major geographic features. • Los Angeles Basin. A low-lying expanse that encompasses the coastal plain of Los Angeles County southeast into Orange County. The portion of it that lies south of the Santa Ana River, between the Santa Ana Mountains and San Joaquin Hills, is technically called the Tustin Plain. • San Joaquin Hills. A range of seaside hills that parallels the coast, from Newport Beach to Dana Point. • Lomas de Santiago. A range of inland hills that parallels the coast, inland of the Tustin Plain. • Chino Hills. A range of inland hills in the northern portion of our area. Their northwestern region is called the Puente Hills; the two features are sometimes together called the Puente-Chino Hills. • Santa Ana Mountains. A range of peninsular mountains, it extends from the Santa Ana River southeast into western Riverside and San Diego Counties. A steep-sided range of many peaks and deep canyons that support an abundance of wild plants and animals. • Temescal Valley. An inland valley, south of the Santa Ana River, from Corona & the southeast. It lies between the Santa Ana Mountains and the Gavilan Hills. It drains northeast into the Santa Ana River. -
