Comments:
Slope accounted mostly in a couple of ledge runs, one below the outlet of Staples Pond (former 10 ft dam is now breached and mostly gone), and a very steep (bordering on waterfalls) run now covered by a concrete culvert underneath VT Rte 14; majority of reach is < 2pct slope. Beers Atlas (1877) indicates sawmill at base of ledges under Rte 14, which may have also been fed by trib from Rood Pond.
