ESCAPEMENT TIMING Late. Sep. -Oct. ESCAPEMENT MAGNITUDE <S5,000 
SPAWNING FACILITIES Good. Limited only by the size of the stream. 
STREAM TEMPERATURES Warm range (Estimated). 
VALLEY DESCRIPTION Glacial origin. Valley heads in high rige with steep slope above flats at base of 
mountains. Timbered. Sedimentary cross-bedding throughout stream. Flat valley section extends from mouth 
for about 1.5 miles to the base of mountain. 
DRAINAGE 2 square miles (Polar Planimeter). Precipitation fed. Early snow field on high mountain persists into 
July. No lakes or ponds. Steep head slope and thin overburden cause rapid run-off. Cross-bedding in stream 
makes stream bottom relatively stable.
