	Hazards and Flood History in the San Miguel River Valley, Colorado
		Flowing through San Miguel and Montrose, Counties, in western Colorado, the San Miguel River is one of the most pristine in the Southern Rocky Mountains.
		The present-day river is about 12 m (40 ft) below remnants of sand and gravel that were deposited by meltwater on the valley floor that existed when valley glaciers occupied the upper part of the drainage basin.
		More common, however, are reaches where the river weaves its way around and between a succession of debris fans, or is largely constrained by valley walls entrenched in bedrock, and has remained in essentially the same location for the past half-century.
