CHANGES IN RIPARIAN VEGETATION IN THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES:
Repeat Photography at Streamflow Gaging Stations

 

SAN PEDRO RIVER AT CHARLESTON (09471000)

(May 4, 1954). The gaging station for the San Pedro River at Charleston has one of the longest records in Arizona. In 1954, the gaging station was at this site, about a quarter mile downstream from the current station on the highway bridge. This view shows the cableway cross section used for discharge measurements. The view is to the east, and the river flows from right to left. The trees along the far bank are cottonwoods (C.A.B., #4251).
   
(July 29, 2000). Cottonwoods and willows, with scattered tamarisk, now block most of the view. The railroad on the opposite bank is still in operation (Dominic Oldershaw, Stake 296).
