Yea, the LA river is a purpose built drainage ditch, get the water out of the city in a hurry pure function, not pretty project. It is the Canadian river that flows from Colorado, into New Mexico, the Texas panhandle and in to Oklahoma. The founding fathers of the early OKC area had astonishing vision, and some of the rich and powerful got richer by building two large lakes to store drinking water. Those lakes flow into the downtown area, and they renamed that area the Oklahoma City River, and just out of the metro area it goes back to a mostly sandy drainage river that is just a few feet deep. It flows into the Arkansas river and into the Mississippi and of course the Gulf of Mexico eventually.
