| Little Topashaw Creek - Location and sizes of large woody debris formations |
|
| Large woody debris that occurred naturally in the channel was mapped in the Spring of 1999 and 2000 using a differentially-corrected global positioning system. Debris diameter was measured using tree calipers, and in the 2000 census, orientation of tree boles with respect to flow direction was noted. When LWD formations were extremely complex, the perimeter of the formation was mapped rather than individual logs. |  |
