This is a map of the EPA Landcover/Landuse in the Freshwater Creek sub-basin, based on a 1992 Landsat TM satellite image. Flat areas in the northern portion are
mostly agriculture (orange) and residential-commercial. Coniferous forest (green) and mixed forest (lighter green) dominate the slopes to the south east, although to the
south, large patches of shrubs and grassland are now evident in timber harvested areas that were once totally coniferous forest. These large grassland and herbaceous
patches are indicative of intensive deforestation.
