The image above comes from the KRIS Big River Map project and shows timber harvests as mapped by the California Department of Forestry by year from 1986-1999. Very little of the Mettick Creek Calwater was logged between 1986 and 1999 but some logging took place in the Dark Gulch and Leonaro Lake CalWater planning units. More than half of the Daugherty Creek Calwater was logged during this period.
