The riparian zone of the Brandon Gulch CalWater is shown above as a 90-meter clip of USFS vegetation and stand type data derived from a 1994 Landsat image. Medium-Large Trees (20-29.9" diameter) dominate many reaches but Small (5-11.9" diameter) and Small/Medium Trees (12-19.9") are also substantially represented. Only tributaries in the western portion of the basin show Saplings (<5" diameter) and Non-Forest components. Stands of Large Trees (30-39" diameter) were indicated in headwater areas. See InfoLinks for more information. This data is only accurate to the one-hectare scale and should be used only as a reconnaissance tool for riparian conditions.
The riparian zone of the Kass Creek CalWater is shown above as a 90-meter clip of USFS vegetation and stand type data derived from a 1994 Landsat image. Small Trees (5-11.9" diameter) dominate much of the riparian zone of Kass Creek proper (upper part of CalWater) with patches of Non-Forest in headwater areas. The mainstem South Fork riparian zone (lower left stream course in CalWater) has stands of Medium/Large Trees (20-29.9" diameter) but also a contiguous area that reads as Saplings (<5" diameter) on the east side of one reach. See InfoLinks for more information. This data is only accurate to the one-hectare scale and should be used only as a reconnaissance tool for riparian conditions.
The riparian zone of the Parlin Creek CalWater is shown above as a 90-meter clip of USFS vegetation and stand type data derived from a 1994 Landsat image. Medium-Large Trees (20-29.9" diameter) dominate many reaches, particularly the mainstem South Fork below Parlin Creek. Stands of Small (5-11.9" diameter) and Small/Medium Trees (12-19.9") are also substantially represented. Saplings (<5" diameter) and Non-Forest components show primarily in headwater areas and around Parlin Camp. McGuire's opening, a private ranch at the top of the South Fork also shows up as Saplings and Non-Forest (as well as white on USGS topo). Stands of Large Trees (30-39" diameter) in headwater areas of the eastern Parlin Creek watershed. See InfoLinks for more information. This data is only accurate to the one-hectare scale and should be used only as a reconnaissance tool for riparian conditions.
