Comments:
Straightening inferred from linear planform and partly incised condition. Remains of three collapsed timber footbridges at and within 200 ft d/s of bedrock waterfall at top end of segment. Pre-1994 constructed pond in LB corridor at residential property u/s of Andrus Road crossing. Driveway and development along LB at d/s end indexed since actual planform is closer to driveway than VHD indicates. Bedrock offers lateral grade control along RB. The degree of vertical separation of the channel from the LB floodplain may have contributions from historic incision following inferred channelization and/or post-glacial incision processes (see report).
