Feb 19 Small Check Dam on Caraway Creek

 


This one is tiny compared to the Caraway Creek Preserve dam and does not have the characteristic high wing sides with lower spillway. This is pretty straight across the creek. There are two outlets. One is right below the diagonal log leaning on the dam. The second is far to the right out of this photo. The top is covered in a mortar/gravel mix much like the same at CCP. This one does not have the back side sloped steeply downward. 

Second outlet


It appears to be about 110 feet in length. After crossing the creek it angles downstream. Right where the angling begins, a foundation angles the opposite way upstream. This is a very flat area and possibly had a structure on it.
