Gradient: Stone Valley and Bottom Moose


Description: This graph of the gradient vs. river mile was obtained from the USGS topo maps of the two streams. Note that, while the <a href="http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River_detail_id_1352_">Moose</a> has some huge drops (where two or more contour lines coincide), the Raquette does indeed drop at 200 feet in its first mile. The drops on the Raquette are pret-ty big, too. With all that gradient, most people regard the Raquette as a step up from the Moose.
