Photograph of an aerial shot of two farm ponds, terraces, a road, and a few buildings. The back of the photograph proclaims, “This picture shows two farm ponds, constructed by the land owner and protected by rip-rapping. The rip-rapping and outlets were provided by the service. The upper pond is approximately 10 acre feet and was constructed for use as a silting basin, for the lower pond. The lower part of the picture shows terraces and outlet ditches. Terraces are level. The old terraces can be seen faintly. Note excessive grade compared with level terraces.”

Photograph of an aerial shot of erosion control on two farms. The back of the photograph proclaims, “This picture shows two farms on which erosion control is practiced to a large extent. There are two farm ponds shown here in which the water is supplied by excess drainage from the level terraces fields. Note the terrace channels filled with water from a heavy rain the night before.”

Photograph of an aerial shot of two farm ponds and some white spots indicating alkaline conditions caused by erosion. A road spans the bottom corner of the photograph, while a farm is near the top left. The back of the photograph proclaims, “This picture shows two farm ponds which were built by the landowner and rip-rapped by the landowner. The upper pond is used as a silting basin for the lower pond. Immediately above the pond there are some white spots which are an indication of alkaline conditions caused by erosion, before terraces were constructed. The area has now been terraced and returned to pasture.”

Photograph of an automatic sprigging machine planting Bermuda grass roots on the 2:1 back slope of dam at Site 22 Big Wewoka Creek watershed. The tractor and sprigger are held in place by a caterpillar on top of dam. This grass is being planted to prevent erosion on the dam. It is being fertilized at time of planting and will be irrigated to get it established.
