This photo shows Camp Creek's middle watershed landscape. The forest has interspersed patch clear cuts that were done by the U.S. Forest Service in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Forest regeneration is poor on some sites as a result of serpentine soils or other limiting factors in ultramafic terrain. The U.S. Forest Service has managed Camp Creek as Key Watershed under the Northwest Forest Plan and it provides habitat for Chinook, coho and steelhead trout.

Note the large particle size distribution of the gravel bar to the right of the creek, showing no indication of fine sediment. Photo contributed by Michael Hentz. 2002.

This photo shows Dillon Creek at Siskon Mine, which is the discolored area along the ridge at middle distance in the photo. The active, recent fire history of Dillon Creek is apparent as one sees bare ridges where the fire burned very hot in 1994. Preton Peak and the Siskiyou Wilderness Area is in the distance.
