Pole Canyon
1902
1995
Description:
Plate 3. POLE CANYON: 1902 - 1995 The 1902 photo point could not be relocated because of increased height growth of trees in the foreground; the 1995 photo was therefore taken from a slightly different perspective. Aspen (Populus tremuloides) has declined and has been heavily invaded by conifers. The stream in the meadow has downcut 20 to 30 feet and the willows (Salix spp.) Have largely been eliminated. The meadow is now fenced to exclude livestock, the area seeded, and numerous erosion control structures installed.
