Unfortunately, the ridge lines don't appear too well in the above illustration. But, an important thing to remember is that the terrain is sloping downwards towards the creeks. As shown, there are sub-ridge lines (minor ridges) between the Primary Ridge lines and the creeks. The sub-ridges are only very well defined by the terrain in the areas located in the photo.
Now, at first glance one might think that these creeks flow towards the reservoir in the bottom left corner. This is not the case however. The West Creek is actually fed by the reservoir as part of the lake's natural spillway. East Creek and the field spring flow northward towards the Lower Swamp. This is all due to the terrian, since the property is on the north face of a small mountain.
East Creek
East Creek is pretty much as it shows in the photo, a small babbling creek. West Creek, Field Spring and both swamps are literally that...narrow, mucky bogs. They are prominently identified by thick stands of tall pines throughout.
