The objective of this observation is to examine a group of channels. Some are very small and one is much larger. The small channels connect to the larger ones. It may be that a wide valley was created, partially filled with sediment and then later the sediment was eroded by the channels we now see. Pictures like this may help us understand the fluvial history of this place.
