Gullies of different depths and like general direction would course down between half-uncovered rocks that may have been long embedded there or may have rolled down to this point. Above, just over the rocks, will appear mounded up earth as though soil had washed down and collected above the stone obstruction. Sometimes there will be several of these rocks clustered together and holding up a steep portion of the banks, and again, considerable spaces will occur without rocks, but they may still be slightly gullied or lightly scooped out, as it were, by the elements over a considerable area. The entire bank, finished on these natural lines, is sodded, as it is too steep to retain and properly germinate grass seed. Rains would be sure to wash the seed Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Parsons, Samuel, 1844-1923.
