Lester - Amity Stressor Map
This map shows the entire Lester-Amity watershed and the
patches of smaller sub-watersheds for each stream within
it.
Red colors on the map indicate areas with the most potential
to stress streams. The colors represent composite scores
that represent population and road density in a given area
and reflect conditions on the land both near and upstream
of that area. They also suggest where stream stress-causers
may accumulate as water flows from each sub-watershed into
main streams and, ultimately, to the mouth of the Lester
River on Lake Superior. The scores signal to scientists where
streams may be stressed and help them decide where to focus
their research in the watershed. Learn more in the
Fall 2007 Stream-Line.
