Area Forsythe Creek
Topic Habitat: Habitat Types by Length in Forsythe Cr and Tributaries 1999
 
Caption:  This chart shows a summary of habitat types by length from California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) habitat typing surveys in Forsythe Creek and its tributaries in 1999. Streams in the chart are sorted by Strahler order (with larger streams at the top), and reaches are numbered upstream beginning at stream mouths. Only three reaches in Eldridge Creek, one in Seward Creek, one in Mill Creek, and one in Forsythe Creek are more than 40% pools by length. CDFG stream survey reports state, "In general, pool enhancement projects are considered when primary pools comprise less than 40% of the length of total stream habitat." The upper reaches of Forsythe, Eldridge-Seward, Walker, and Jack Smith Creeks had extensive dry reaches, indicating poor conditions for salmonid rearing. Riffles and flatwater are combined in this graph because CDFG reach summaries did not separate them. See InfoLinks for more information.
