Comments:
Historic straightening evidently by evidenced rip rap. In the upper portion of the reach the straightening is due to the proximity of Route 12 and the lower portion is related with farming practices. The upper 600' of the reach shows a narrower portion of the valley and similar feature of M05. The reach is predominantly a plane bed system.
