TURNER WATER CANYON
General Description: This downstream view of Turner Water Canyon is about
one mile from its head. The view area is public land administered by the
Bureau of Land Management.
Legal Description: SW1/4NE1/4 Section 35 T.31S, R.22E.
COMPARISON: This channel segment has improved with establishment of a
good variety of riparian vegetation in response to an intermittent surface flow
that is apparently augmented with subsurface free water. The right
vertical bank, visible in the 1927 photograph, has eroded back nearly to
bedrock, the active channel has narrowed and aggraded slightly. Riparian
vegetation consisting of narrowleaf, Freemont, lanceleaf cottonwoods, coyote
willow, yellow willow, water birch, bulrush, Baltic rush and white virgin's
bower has established across the entire developing floodplain. A few
tamarisk plants can also be found at this site. From this point
downstream, cottonwood trees decrease, but willow populations continue for about
.3 mile where they too decrease as the influence of subsurface water diminishes.
