The Lower Narrows
The lower part of the Mojave River is where most of the research and work with the Mojave River has done. The Lower Narrows is home to the Three Spine Stickle Back, and several other kinds of fish and amphibians. But to learn more about the Lower Narrows than we could ever teach you check out these links.

This is a picture of lower narrows from the main railroad bridge. This picture was taken by David Thompson in 1917.

Because the old bridge was replaced at a higher deck elevation, our match is from a bridge pier and is too low. Riparian vegetation has increased dramatically, blocking most of the view. A few cottonwoods appear on both river left and right, and various herbaceous riparian species are in the foreground lining the perennial stream. Beaver ponds also are present, and the beaver are killing some of the smaller trees in the upstream reach. The tree in the foreground is a sycamore, and several other sycamores are in the reach upstream. The occurrence of sycamore is highly unusual for this part of the Mojave River (Dominic Oldershaw, Stake 2112a). (October 24, 2000)

(October 24, 2000). Because the bridge was replaced at a higher elevation than the one that was present in 1917, our match is too low. Seep willow and cattails dominate the view, with mature cottonwood trees appearing behind them to the right and left (Dominic Oldershaw, Stake 2112b).
