This photo covers from the convergence of the North Fork and South Fork Gualala, just to the right of center at the very bottom of the picture, to the headwaters of the Little North Fork Gualala and South Fork Garcia River, which adjoin at upper left. From west to east (left to right), one can see the beach near the town of Gualala at extreme lower left, the North Fork Gualala meandering east from lower right to center right, and Dry Creek watershed at upper right. Note the intensive, recent timber harvest in the Little North Fork basin and adjacent upper South Fork Garcia. The legacy of road scars from Post WW II logging is visible at upper right in the Dry Creek watershed. Photo scanned from the collection of the Ukiah office of the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Mendocino Resources Conservation District as part of Gualala River Literature Assimilation (Higgins, 1997).
