The willows extend a few yards on either side of a small meandering creek as well as along several cut off sloughs - for 1/4 mile from mouth of creek. At about where the creek leaves the river terrace & enters the bluff the willows peter out to a few low scattered groves. Their maximum height in some grove was 8 feet or so.
