The Marsh Creek watershed drains the north side of Mt. Diablo and includes the citites of Oakley, Brentwood, and part of Antioch in eastern Contra Costa County approximately 40 miles northeast of San Francisco.  This watershed drains 128 spuare miles of rangeland, farmland, and urban land and is the second largest watershed in the County.  Marsh Creek flows for approximately 30 river miles from its headwaters in the Morgan Territory, the eastern flank of Mt Diablo, to its mouth at Big Break in the western Delta and is an important ecological link between the Delta and the Diablo Range.
