Laurel Run GPS Location 20

Location 20 is where Zeitler Road passes through Elkton Farm.  At the west end of the farm, Zietler Road crosses Laurel Run, a tributary to Little Elk Creek.  At this location, there is a partially washed out bridge, which has been replaced with a concrete ford that is used for vehicle traffic.  The stream bed below the ford is downcut as much as 2 m (6 feet), causing a clear blockage to upstream fish passage (photo).  The water was clear and the creek bed was cobbly.  The riparian vegetation was healthy and wide.
