Transcription
A gully 10 to 12 feet deep resulting from erosion on overgrazed grassland. The divide determining the waters draining into the scully is not 200 yards distant, the slope is gentle. The sedimentary character of the soil is seen in the cuts. Note that the gully is practically on the crest of a ridge. The activity of sheet erosion is seen on either side 22 miles NE of Lower Lake, Lake County, California.
