13DD, Fivepoint Creek . — (August 15, 19Ulj Parkhurst.) 

 Fivepoint Creek enters the Grande Ronde River 6£ miles above the town 

 of LaGrande, or approximately l£6| miles above the mouth. There was 

 an appreciable flow in only the lower 2 miles at the time of the sur- 

 vey. The stream was 12 feet wide near the mouth, and was discharging 

 about l\ c.f.s. Fivepoint Creek formerly maintained a higher minimum 

 flow, and supported small runs of salmon and steelhead, as well as 

 resident trout. It is of no present or potential value to salmon, 



13EE. Rock Creek .— (August 1$, 19kl} Zimmer.) Rock Creek 

 enters the Grande Ronde River less than one-quarter of a mile above 

 Fivepoint Creek. At the time of the survey it was discharging about 

 2 c.f.s., and was practically dry at a point 1 mile above the mouth. 

 The stream is of no present or potential value to salmon. 



13FF. TWhiskey Creek . — (August 17, l°Ulj Zimmer.) Whiskey 

 Creek enters the Grande Ronde River about 9 miles above the town of 

 LaGrande. It is a small stream, discharging about \ c.f.s. at the 

 time of the survey, and is of no present or potential value to anad- 

 romous fish. 



13GG.. Spring Creek .— (August 16, 19ulj Zimmer.) Spring Creek 

 enters the Grande Ronde River about 10 miles above the town of LaGrande. 

 It was discharging less than 1 c.f.s. at the time of the survey, and is 

 of no present or potential value to anadromous fish. 



13HH. Jordan Creek .— (August 21, 19Ulj Zimmer.) Jordan Creek 

 enters the Grande Ronde River about 11 miles above the town of LaGrande. 

 At the time of the survey it was discharging about 2 c.f.s., and was 

 practically dry at a point 1^ miles above the mouth. Jordan Creek 

 formerly maintained a higher minimum flow, and supported small runs of 

 salmon and steelhead, as well as resident trout. It is of no present 

 or potential value to anadromous fish. 



13H« Beaver Creek . — (August 21, 19Ulj Parkhurst.) Beaver 

 Creek enters the Grande Ronde River about 17 miles above the town of 

 LaGrande. The course extends for about 18 miles, of which the lower 

 2 miles were surveyed. The stream was 1$ feet wide at the mouth, and 

 discharging about 6 c.f.s. at the time of the survey. It decreased to 

 a width of 8 feet and a flow of about 3 c.f.s. at a point 2 miles above 

 the mouth, and the upper section was considered too small to be of 

 possible value to salmon. The gradient is moderate in the lower section, 

 with good shallow riffles, adequate resting pools, and excellent spawn- 

 ing areas. It was estimated that there were about 15,000 sq.yd. of 

 suitable spawning area in the lower 2 miles, constituting 6k percent 

 of the stream bed in that section. The entire stream is inaccessible 

 to migratory fish at low water stages because of obstructions in the 

 main Grande Ronde River, and is therefore of no present value for 

 salmon production. A domestic water reservoir supplying the town of 

 LaGrande is located in the headwaters of the stream. This structure
