Chute Sentries

The Muskegon River has lots of chutes that connect the South and North Branches. Most run through power lines from the Cobb plant. All are lined by an amazing number of burned tree trunks.

Does anyone know if these trunks were from a controlled burn – perhaps to facilitate the installation and maintenance of the electrical lines? Or, was there an unplanned fire that wiped out so many acres of lumber? Either way, any idea when this happened?
