Dobbyn Cr.--8 mi. There would seem to have been fish in Dobbyn
Cr., since it is a fair-sized stream and there were many villages
on it.
SHELTER COVE SINKYONE 67 mi.
South Fork Eel--39 mi. There were a good many fish in South
Fork as far up as Branscomb (Dept. of Fish and Game).
Redwood Cr.--5 mi. According to Merriam the region around
Redwood Cr. was a center for the Shelter Cove Sinkyone; therefore
there must have been fish in the creek.
Mattole R.--11 mi. There is a partial barrier to salmon at the
community of Thorn but some fish get up even beyond this (Dept. of
Fish and Game).
East Branch, South Fork Eel--4 mi. King salmon and silver
salmon go up at least to Squaw Cr. (3 mi.) and steelhead go up at
least to Rancheria Cr. (4.5 mi., according to the Dept. of Fish and
Game).
Sea Coast--8 mi. The Shelter Cove Sinkyone have 16 mi. of
sea coast. The only reliable data on the density of sea coast
population in relation to the riverine population are given by
Kroeber (1925a, p. 116). According to his figures, the seashore is
about half as productive as the rivers and I have therefore halved
the sea coast mileage in the calculation of available fishing miles.
LOLANGKOK SINKYONE 63 mi.
