Tarwater Creek
Tarwater Creek is a small river in San Mateo County, California, and is a tributary of Pescadero Creek. Pescadero Creek Park sits atop a deposit of natural gas and oil. Natural gas occasionally bubbles up through seams near Hoffman Creek producing a strong gas odor. Crude oil pools up in the channel of Tarwater Creek, and seeps into Jones Gulch Creek staining the rocks. Oil exploration was attempted in the 1970s but failed to hit the pool. There was also some limited historical oil production in the 1880s on the coast to the west.

It was regarded by medical experts to be quackery. History The use of tar water is mentioned in the second chapter of Charles Dickens's (1812–1870) '' Great Expectations'' (1861). Young Pip and his brother-in-law, Joe, were often force fed it by Mrs. Joe, Pip's elder sister, whether they were ill or not, as a sort of cruel punishment. The physician Cadwallader Colden (1688–1776) extolled the virtues of pine resin steeped in water. This concoction also was called "tar water". George Berkeley suggested that tar from ...
