Leveridge's Land Below Owl Creek Watershed Detention Reservoirs #1 & #2

Photograph of Rual W. Leveridge pointing to a field, just below Detention Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 on the Owl Creek Watershed, which intense rainfall sent overflow waters down the sloping land seen on the left of photograph and partially damaged his field. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Overflow waters for years had destroyed crops on this 30-acre strip of bottomland below Detention Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 in Owl Creek Watershed. However, intense rains on May 10-11 failed to send creek out of banks. Only damage was from water flowing down from sloping land at left. Leveridge has farmed the field for more than 20 years. First crops were good, but during wetter years flooding made farming here unprofitable. Leveridge has plans for developing productivity of field. He has been convinced that land will no longer be subject to annual flooding."
