Overview
Martinez Reservoir is impounded in a small, north facing valley at the eastern edge of the City of Martinez. The site is situated on the northeast margin of the East Bay hills which are, in the immediate reservoir vicinity, rounded low hills rising to elevations of 200 feet or less. Approximately 2 miles north of the reservoir, the Sacramento River flows westward from Suisun Bay through the Carquinez straight.
