| Description: | Diversion spreader #11, one of the water diversion spreader systems as a part of a forest engineering project on the Irons Fork Experimental Forest. These structures, constructed in 1939 in the Rock Creek drainage of Irons Fork, were designed to help capture/slow stormflow along the ridges to help reduce peak flow in stream channels in the valleys. Photographs were taken before 1943 by an unknown USFS photographer and used in an unpublished report by Assistant Forester John L. Arend. |
