MAY BB SECURED ON REQUEST
Tiny lakes which once were
watery jewels lying alongside
the lower reaches of Mountain
Creek, as It flowed through
its great broad valley, are now
Just memories shared by a few
oldtlmers who fished and
camped along the lake shores
In their boyhood days. *
Located on the east side of
Mountain Creek, between the
stream and the highways that
now border the valley to the
east, Htherlngton Lake and
several small lakes were once
Important links in the storage
of natural sloughs that once
were such common features
of the larger creek valleys
and of the great river bottom-
lands like those of the Trinity
River.
These water supplies helped
to maintain the summer flow
in the natural stream chan-
nels. Water stored In these
lakes and sloughs during ti mes
of high water flow were fed
gradually to the creeks and
rivers by slow flow or seep-
age which had backed up in the
sloughs or had been stored In
the small lakes. These waters
aided In prolonging flow from
springs that also drew upon
water stored In the great depo-
sits of alluvial soils In the
valley of Mountain Creek.
One of the small lakes,
Bryant Lake, was apparently
once part of a slough that
helped to carry and store
overslow during times of high
water. Gradually the en-
croachment of vegetation and
the deposition of silt combined
to close the ends of a portion
of the slough and to seperate
It from the main channel of
Mountain Creek, thus con-
verting that part of the slough
into the small lake.
For those who camped near
lt*s shores or on Mountain
Creek, close by, the small
lake holds many cherished
memories. For the young-
sters, a boat ride on the lake
In a small, crude, wooden
flat-bottomed boat was a high
adventure, especially on a
night when the full moon cast
Its silvery light over the placid
waters.
TTie lake seemed a world
apart even from nearby Moun-
tain Creek, enveloped In a
silence broken only by the
swishing of the homemade
oars In the water, the thud-
ding and creaking of the oar
handles In the wooden oar
locks and the rare and wonder-
ful sounds of the wild. From
the shores esme the hooting
of the owls as they seemed to
question us with calls that
'uncled like “Who, Who are
<u7*’ The lonesome and
rt the “whip-poor-wilt*!**
when gentle breezes stirred
faint waves to restless move-
ment. Tbe dark, shadowy
forms of giant trees hovered
along the shores and at the
far end of the lake, the ghostly
arms of a long-dead broken
tree shone In the white moon-
light.
As forested woods and
natural grass lands dotted by
big mesqulte trees gave way
to croplands and grazed pas-
tures, sediments carried in by
floods gradually filled the
small lake and the place where
it had been for so many years
became a part of the valley
floor and Is now lost In the
annals of time, except in the
memories of some oldtlmers
who still search in the broad
valley for some faint traces of
lt*s old shorelines.
