Coal and Ralston Creeks, both tributaries of the South Platte River, abandoned the Rocky Flats surface and formed the Verdos and Slocum pediments, which are cut into Cretaceous bedrock between Rocky Flats and the modern stream elevations.
Ecology: Meadows, mountain streams; Elevation: < 3000 m.

The user-defined AOI serves as a starting point from which to create maps of many different types of geographic features, including sub-watersheds, streams, elevation bands, land cover patches, land parcels, or anything else that can be discerned from the available data.
The Salmon River's first stream stage elevation measurement was 0.53 m lower than the streambed elevation of upper Marx Creek's stream cell 1, and the second stream stage elevation measurement was 2.21 m lower than the streambed elevation of stream cell 1 (Nelson 2010).
Ecology: Vernal pools, stream edges; Elevation: < 800 m.
