Eticuera Creek is one of four primary tributaries that drain into Lake Berryessa in northern Napa County, California.[1] The other three are Pope Creek, Capell Creek, and Putah Creek.
Eticuera Creek drains a watershed that is approximately 53 square miles (140 km2). The creek generally drains in a north to south direction.
The upper reaches of the watershed also once supported the now defunct mining town of Knoxville.[2]
