Click on image to enlarge (102K).This map of the Estero de San Antonio (Stemple Creek estuary) shows that the water body was originally much larger prior to agricultural development which accelerated erosion and increased sediment delivery to the estuary. The sedimentation subsequently caused a reduction in the tidal prism, and therefore a reduction in the scouring ability of the currents and narrowing and shallowing of the channel entrance. The first closing of the estuary was thought to have occurred late in the 19th century. The map was prepared by Philip Williams and Associates for the Marin Resource Conservation District (PWA, 1993).
