Tables--because of their small font size the numbers identifying the sites referred to in the tables are not distinguishable on the web image versions of Plate 1. Please refer to the paper print of Plate 1 (included with the report) or download a high resolution version of Plate 1 (available in postscript and Arc/Info formats) from this site at "https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1997/438/plate1.html".

Table 1B- Measurements from debris-flow channels in Madison County, Virginia. Sample 
locations (ID) are shown on Plate 1.  EROSION/DEPOS (E/D) indicates whether erosion or 
deposition is predominant at this site.  BLDR AVE and BLDR MAX are visual estimates of the 
average and maximum sized boulders deposited.  MAX FLOW DEPTH is an estimate of the 
height of the debris-flow front as it passed this location based on deposits, mud lines, or damaged 
vegetation. SUPPORT (S/E/P) refers to whether the larger boulders were supported (S) by 
matrix, in edge to edge contact (E) or partially supported by matrix (P).
