Alameda Creek

Flood Control Channel
Watershed

As recently as the 1950s Alameda Creek would flooded out of its main channel and into other distributary channels. These could range from from Mount Eden Creek down to Mowry Slough. Most recent floods were into Crandall Creek and Sanjon de los Alisos. Now the flows of Alameda Creek are held within the flood-control channel, and the rest of the watersheds now carry mostly local urban runoff.
