Johnny Bean Brook upstream view

Description/Comments: 

Looking upstream on Johnny Bean Brook from Main Poland Road in Conway.  This image shows two point bars, on the inside of successive meanders.  Notice deposites of sand, gravel and cobble on each point bar (some deposits are hidden by fallen leaves).  The larger deposits tend to be closer to the stream, which is typical, as these will drop out sooner during high flows than do finer sediments, and are thus less likely to travel farther from the main stream channel.
