This is a map of 1994 vegetation size data in the Blue Waterhole Creek sub-basin, overlaid on top of KRIS sub-basins and 1:24,000
streams. The tree size classifications were derived from Landsat multi-spectral images taken in 1994. Stand conditions are
accurately represented at the one hectare scale. The western and eastern parts of the watershed are in coniferous forest which
shows as larger diameter trees, but a swath of grassland and oak woodlands cuts across the interior, showing as non-forest and
saplings. This is likely as a result of a change in bedrock type to Central Belt Franciscan terrain. Some areas with smaller diameter
tree sizes in the western portion of the basin (Saplings, Small/Trees) are in part a result of recent timber harvest. Data were
provided by the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region Remote Sensing Lab, in cooperation with the California Department
of Forestry.
