State Watershed Map

MWCC utilizes the Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) system to identify watersheds on its maps. HUCs are a standardized watershed classification system understood by local, state and federal persons, but they do not always match the exact boundaries identified by local watershed groups. HUC was developed by the USGS in the mid 1970s. Visit USGS for more information. http://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/tutorial/huc_def.html

Colored areas below identify HUCs with active watershed groups or that are part of a Conservation District council.
