The '''Stockton Arch''' is a geologic feature underlying the [Central Valley](/source/Central_Valley_(California)) in [California](/source/California) in the vicinity of the [delta](/source/Sacramento-San_Joaquin_River_Delta) of the [Sacramento](/source/Sacramento_River) and [San Joaquin River](/source/San_Joaquin_River)s, near the city of [Stockton](/source/Stockton%2C_California). The Stockton Arch is an upwarping of the crust beneath the thick sediments of the Central Valley, and is regarded as the subsurface separation between the Sacramento River basin and the San Joaquin River basin.
