The mouth of Thompson Creek in March 1997. The photo shows that the mouth of this stream became shallower and wider as a result of the January 1997 Storm. It appeared that excavation might have taken place at this site after the flood and prior to the photo. Such activity might have been related to flood control upstream or potential continuing flood effects on the Highway 96 bridge, just upstream on Thompson Creek.

Boulder weirs formerly located here to improve diversity of fish habitat were buried or mobilized by the January 1997 storm.

The mouth of Bluff Creek as pictured here in March 1997 shows that the riparian area was buffeted during the January 1, 1997 storm, but that the riparian area remained intact. This indicates that there was not a major outflow of sediment from Bluff Creek.
