China Slough Site

The site of the slough, which formerly extended from 3rd to 5th Streets and north of I Street in Sacramento, is now occupied by the Southern Pacific depot.

Citation from California Office of Historic Preservation

China Slough must have been filled in decades ago. It used to run about where the railroad tracks run today, behind the Southern Pacific Depot on I Street.

We were unable to locate a commemorative plaque for China Slough. Here's a list of other California Historical Landmarks which had no bear flag plaque when we visited them.
