This map image of vegetation types is based 1994 Landsat data and shows vegetation types for the Elk River watershed. The significant amount of shrubs and grass (orange and pink) in the South Fork Elk River watershed indicate a high degree of recent disturbance. The large purple area to the southwest (lower left) of the watershed is the Headwaters Forest in the Little South Fork Elk drainage (see next Picture for aerial photo of watershed). Map based on data from Humboldt State University but with summaries and final map legend by Institute for Fisheries Resources.
