Comments

Historic aerials (Google Earth) show transient beaver dams over time, but none active in this segment currently. There were also wooden structure that suggested possible human damming or other use, but no verification. Stream is incising rapidly through legacy sediments, but still has good floodplain access through most of segment (could be temporary access dependent on extent of incision in the future).
