Conklin Creek

Variations for a Single Storm Event. An intensive study of one small stream rise was made during the period November 7-15, 1969 for the Mattole River and Conklin Creek (Figure 4). Conklin Creek is a tributary to the Mattole River which enters from the north about 2 miles upstream from the main sampling site on the Mattole. Its drainage area is 5-6 square miles.

Although light rain fell the morning and early afternoon of November 7, the discharge of Conklin Creek continued to decrease following the... 

The fact that the pattern of silica variation in Conklin Creek is very similar to that in the Mattole River, even though the stream basins are different by a factor of about 40 in size, indicates that the observed variation in the Mattole basin is not owing to travel time effects.
