Log weir spanning upper Beaver Creek above its convergence with Hungry Creek in August 1997, looking upstream. Upper Beaver Creek above and below Hungry Creek appeared to have received less flood damage than lower Beaver Creek.

This photo shows upper Beaver Creek above Hungry Creek looking upstream off a bridge in August 1997. A log weir remains in place with a small scour pocket toward the thalweg of the stream. The survival of this structure and particle size distribution suggest that significant aggradation did not occur at this site.
