Calf Creek

Description:

Plate 48X. Calf Creek ca. 1935-2002 Viewed north up Calf Creek approximately one-half mile above its confluence with the Escalante River. The original shows the Boulder to Escalante road under construction - - now Utah Highway 12. Note how denuded Calf Creek once was and how abundant woody riparian vegetation is today. The plants are primarily willows and cottonwoods, very few tamarisk or Russian olive are present. Beaver have now colonized the site and have cut a great deal of woody vegetation.
