The landscape around Creekside is defined by low, dry hills at the southern reach of the Salinas Valley, which have shaped both scattered residential development and the agricultural economy of the surrounding county. This part of Monterey County lies between the valley’s intensively farmed plain and inland ranges, rather than on the Monterey Bay shoreline. Salinas Valley agriculture is internationally associated with lettuce and other vegetable crops, a trade that has long helped define the region. Nearby Salinas is also the birthplace of writer John Steinbeck, whose novels drew on California farm-country life.
