Little Elk Creek GPS Location 50

Location 50 is a site with historical buildings on the left bank of Little Elk Creek, approximately 150 m (1/10 of a mile) upstream from the confluence of Little and Big Elk Creeks.  The creek was at least 30 m (100 feet) wide and appeared to be tidally influenced.  The left bank slopes gently to the water and is fairly muddy; the right bank is near vertical and about 0.6 m (2 feet) tall.  The substrate is fine-grained. Phragmites dominated the right bank and mowed lawn dominated the left bank.  Trees form a riparian buffer further downstream where Big Elk Creek comes in from the left.
