Click on image to enlarge (106K). The image above shows USFS vegetation stand types for all Buckeye Creek Calwater planning watersheds based on a 1994 Landsat image. The stand types are only accurate at the one-hectare scale. The largest vegetative component of the western watershed as of 1994 was Medium-Large Trees (20-29.9" diameter), although recently logged areas there show as patches of Non-Forest and Saplings (<5" diameter). The eastern portion of the Buckeye basin has a naturally high component of small trees and Non Forest due to mélange terrain. See Info Links for more information.
