View of Robinson Creek looking downstream near Highway 128. Fencing across the channel and along banks keeps grazing activity out of the stream. Notice young willows growing in fenced off section of stream. Upstream of this section of the creek, the channel is artificially confined by Highway 128. Photo by Pat Higgins, 9/21/01.

View of Robinson Cr looking downstream near Highway 128 during winter flows. Most of the streams in the Navarro Basin are subject to seasonal fluctuations in flow. Some of the cattle fencing across the channel has been removed. Notice the red willow shoots in the fenced are. Upstream of this section of the creek, the channel is artificially confined by Highway 128. Photo by Rixanne Wehren, January 2002.

View of Robinson Cr looking upstream near Highway 128. Notice 10-ft vertical cut banks and gullies along opposite banks. The channel is artificially confined by Highway 128 in this section of the creek and is mostly subsurface in this section. Notice shallow pool in the center of the photo. Bed material consists of large particles. Photo by Pat Higgins, 9/21/01.
