I don't know the landscape down there, but don't the creeks meander and move very slowly? That would be perfect beaver habitat, so anytime you trap one out, another will move in, upstream, downstream, or cross country. Beavers tend to take opportunistic advantage of natural places to build dams, like at culverts under the road and so forth. So they become a problem.

My biologist acquaintance did his thesis in Idaho where the problem beavers tend to live along major waterways at the bottom of steep canyons. Others exist upstream, which tends to be a significant elevation gradient. So the beavers tend to move down stream more readily than they do upstream, and even less readily cross country.
