Comments:
Not a classic alluvial fan but likely formed by a lot of alluvial inputs from next seg US, which appears to be more situated on historic or post-glacial alluvial fan, with a second possible post-glacial alluvial fan at DS end of segment. Sinuosity reduced by historic bank toe stabilization, much of which has recently failed. Largest particles in bed often appear to be failed bank toe armoring, but also may have come out of stream originally. With most trees along banks now cut, this segment could undergo rapid widening in future storms (though dense shrub cover does seem to stabilize the banks sufficiently to prevent extensive erosion). May be E to C Stream Type Departure, but long-standing platform alteration makes it hard to say for sure.
