This photo shows the lower South Fork Gualala River looking upstream in a side channel area just above the convergence with the Wheatfield Fork taken in March 1997. Note the substantial deposit of fine sediment in the terrace behind the alder. The small average particle size in this fourth order reach of the South Fork would lead to high bedload mobility during high flows.
