Debris-flow deposit in the South Fork Fire burn area

Detailed Description

A mud- to boulder-sized debris-flow deposit in the South Fork Fire burn area, New Mexico.  Flooding and debris-flows occurred as a result of rain events shortly following the summer wildfire.  This photo was taken in the South Fork Cedar Creek drainage near the center of the burn area approximately 4 months following the wildfire.
