Description:
Plate 78. JOHNSON VALLEY RESERVOIR: 1953 - Aspen (Populus tremuloides) increased in height between 1953 and 1999, but most stands became heavily invaded by conifers and lack aspen regeneration. The dam was rebuilt before 1999, which raised the pool height and expanded the size of the reservoir (see Plates 83-85).
