The watershed maps below can be used as a simplistic visual assessment, or snapshot, of the health of a watershed based on the types of land use (forests, agriculture, impervious surfaces, etc.) within the watershed. The maps below were created using data from 2019 and 2011 land cover mapping, respectively.  .

Please note: The land cover maps depict percentage of land cover, but not density of cover within each class. For example, the dark green areas represent treed areas, but the density of the tree cover could range greatly from 100% to less than 25% tree cover. Information on percentage cover by density class (0-5%, >5-10%, >10-25%, >25-50%, >50-75% and >75%) is available for tree and impervious land cover.
