Summary
Album caption and index card: Gravel-floored channel of Nankoweap Creek (near site 15) after the flood of December 1966. Looking downstream, along Nankoweap Creek. The narrow channel is in the center of the picture and is where the peak of the flood of December 1966 was 31/2-4 ft (1.1-1.2 m) above the present channel. The low 5 ft high (1.5 m high) terrace in the left-center of the photograph was not inundated. During the flood peak, the channel apparently was deepened and was filled by pebble-to-small-cobble size material during the declining stage of the flood. Grand Canyon National Park, Coconino County, Arizona. ca. 1966. Published as Figure 26-B in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 980. 1977.
