MonitoringLocationDescriptionText The station is located on Godwood Creek approximately 300 yards from the confluence with Prairie Creek. Godwood Creek is a tributary to Prairie Creek, Redwood Creek, and ultimately drains into the Pacific Ocean. Drainage area at mouth is approximately 1.7 square miles. The entire creek is contained within Prairie Creek State Park and Redwood National and State Parks. The elevation ranges from 150 feet at the mouth to 840 feet in the headwaters. The basic geology of Godwood Creek consists of stream valleys underlain by modern alluvium (i.e. sands, gravels). The hill slopes are underlain by Quaternary coastal plain sediments, weakly to unconsolidated silts, sands, and gravels of mixed fluvial, estuarine, and littoral depositional origin. The stream channel consists of a gravel and cobble substrate, bedded in a pool riffle structure with abundant large woody debris.
