| Notes | “Rock Creek is a tributary of the Siletz River; its watershed occupies about 43 square miles and ranges in elevation from 160 ft to 2880 ft, with about 36% of the land area lying above 1000 ft elevation… Rock Creek flows into the Siletz River between river miles 48 and 49 and Logsden, Oregon, about 13 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. The watershed provides habitat for three threatened species (the marbled murrelet, the Northern spotted owl, and the coho salmon) and two candidate species, which may be listed under the Endangered Species Act (searun cutthroat trout and steelhead trout)… The residents of Rock Creek are interested in developing a science-based management and monitoring plan to conserve the resources of the watershed. The purpose of this report is to summarize and synthesize existing information so that such plans can be developed.” (from the Executive Summary) Note: maps and figures are not accessible in the online version. |
