Santiago Creek is a 20-mile (32 km) long tributary of the Santa Ana River in Orange County, California. It drains about 100.6 square miles (260.5528 km2) of mostly undeveloped land. It currently flows in an unlined flood control channel, and is usually dry. Orange County's oldest dam, in the East Orange Hills, was built in 1879 and still spans Santiago Creek.
