Caption: This chart shows the road density within Eureka Calwater Planning Watersheds as miles of road per square mile of watershed. That urbanized watersheds like West Eureka (EKA), Martin Slough, and Pine Hill rank high in road densities is not surprising and many streams actually are under city streets in the West Eureka Calwater. Proper watershed function for salmonid habitat according to National Marine Fisheries Service (1996) is 2.5 miles per square mile, which is shown as a reference above. Data from Legacy the Landscape Connection with summary statistics generated by the Institute for Fisheries Resources. See Info Links for access to more background information.
