Watershed Facts
Unique Feature
Approximately 80% of the watershed’s geology is limestone, while about 15% is shale/siltstone. Over 70% of the watershed is agricultural land cover although in recent years, some of that agricultural land has been converted to large warehousing complexes. Due to its proximately to State Route 81, development pressure within this watershed is expected to continue. Fifteen percent of the watershed is forested (including Cumberland Golf Course), and the remaining ~10% land cover is urban/suburban.
Drinking Water
No drinking water is drawn from this stream.
