VALLEY DESCRIPTION Narrow valley, bounded by high peaks. 



DRAINAGE Steep, timbered slopes, muskeg valley. Originates in small, clear lake. 



STREAM MOUTH IDENTIFICATION Sandy beach at N. shore; cabins and warehouse at mouth.

 there is very little shelter and the 12 fathom shelf is narrow. Small skiff can be anchored in 

 stream and drifted out at any tide. Stream can be worked out of Petersburg easily by skiff.

 of the stream and crosses the stream at the terminal marker.
