This 1955 photograph by the California Department of Fish and Game shows the edge of a road prism extending down into the stream. The stream is partially displaced by the fill. Logging slash is in evidence in the stream. Angular material in the stream bed indicates recent debris torrent.

This logging road has displaced a small stream channel in the Signal Creek watershed in 1955. The braided flow across the fill adjacent to the road prism indicates that a small first order or emphemeral stream has been buried. This type land use activities caused massive contributions of sediment during subsequent storm events. This photo was taken by the California Department of Fish and Game.
