I asked for the difference between the Stockton Channel and the Mormon Channel, and got the following from Google AI:
Stockton Channel
Role: An active, levee-contained waterway and shipping channel part of the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta.
Location: Runs 2.5 miles from the Port of Stockton (San Joaquin River) to McLeod Lake in Downtown Stockton.
Function: Supports commercial navigation, deepwater shipping traffic, and urban waterfront activity.
Mormon Channel (Mormon Slough)
Role: A minor tributary and historic drainage channel that branches off to the southeast from the Stockton Channel.
Location: Weaves through parts of urban and rural Stockton, originating from the Calaveras River near Bellota.
Function: Mostly dry today due to early 20th-century flood-diversion projects (like the Stockton Diverting Canal). It is primarily a subject of recurring flood-control, environmental restoration, and community revitalization proposals.
