There seems to be some gullying <br />and lowering of the water table. One can see bits and pieces <br />of riparian vegetation (still reflecting in the infrared) all <br />along both creeks. There is one larger meadow area on Foidel <br />Creek along the north side of photo 632 and just west of a pond. <br />The flood plain is very narrow and the alluvial soils are not <br />extensive. There is some evidence of alluvial terraces above <br />the immediate narrow flood plain. This should be ground <br />checked and verified by a geologist. <br />The forest vegetation above the creeks to the southwest is high- <br />ly reflective in the infrared which is common for conifers even <br />into the winter months. The upland shrub lands above the creeks <br />appear dull and differ greatly from the wet areas along the two <br />streams. I would estimate that there is less than 10 percent <br />alluvial valley floor along those two streams. The alluvial <br />valley floor would be found along Foidel Creek on the north side <br />of the photo where the infrared reflective vegetation occurs <br />just west of the pond. <br />r1 <br />LJ <br />
