John Reed's Saw Mill
Two miles west is the old saw mill, from which the city of Mill Valley
acquired its name. It was constructed in the 1830's by John Reed, grantee
of the Rancho Corte Madera del Presidio. The creek waters furnished the
motive power for the mill, which was the first in the San Francisco Bay
region to supply lumber.
