Deer Creek Watershed Project

PROJECT: Deer Creek Watershed Conservancy Mapping

PRODUCED FOR: Deer Creek Watershed Conservancy

STATUS: Active (10-15-97 to Present)

OBJECTIVE: To develop GIS map coverages and provide hardcopy maps to support the Deer Creek Watershed Planning effort.

SUMMARY: In 1996, the Deer Creek Watershed Conservancy secured funding to develop a plan for the watershed. This effort included an existing conditions report. The GIC created a series of thematic map coverages that depict conditions currently existing within the watershed.

Additional maps will be added as the watershed planning effort continues. This includes filling in gaps where more information is needed and supporting the development of a watershed management strategy.

PROJECT AREA: Deer Creek Watershed in Tehama county.

DATA DEVELOPED:

Parcel lines were digitized from county assessor parcel maps using BLM GCDB for spatial control.(expected April '98)
Soil erodibility and range sites were digitized from USDA Tehama County Soil Survey maps at a scale of 1:20000.
Geology layer was developed using available paper maps at a scale of 1:62500 and supplemented with 1:250000 data.(expected April '98)
Land use was digitized from Tehama County land use paper maps.
Fish habitats were developed from Dr. Peter Moyle and Georgina M. Sato, 1986 and California Department of Fish and Game, Inland Fisheries Division, Red Bluff field notes.
