NotesThis is a fascinating look back at the origins of the ancestral Siletz-Luckiamute and Yaquina-Mary’s Rivers. “The wind gaps, barbed drainages, valley sizes, and scale of the large meanders suggest that each pair of streams in the central Coast Range (one pair consists of one westward-flowing stream and one eastward-flowing stream) represents a single ancient stream system which was severed during uplift of the Coast Range.” (from the Abstract) Maps, color photographs.
