Note that the Upper North Fork in the lower portion of the photo has been widened as a result of debris torrents. This stream is a major source of sediment to the main Mattole River and often increases turbidity in the main river.
This aerial photograph taken in 1997 shows the track of a debris torrent in the Upper North Fork at its convergence with the main Mattole River. Photo provided by the Mattole Restoration Council.
