  • Crayfishes of the Cheat River Watershed in West Virginia and Pennsylvania
    CRAYFISHES OF THE CHEAT RIVER WATERSHED IN WEST VIRGINIA AND PENNSYLVANIA. PART II. OBSERVATIONS UPON ECOLOGICAL FACTORS RELATING TO DISTRIBUTION1 FRANK J. SCHWARTZ AND WILLIAM G. MEREDITH Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, Solomons, Maryland and Ml. St. Mary's College, Emmittsburg, Maryland Schwartz and Meredith (1960) presented as Part I the localities and species of crayfishes (Decapoda) currently found throughout the Cheat River watershed of West Virginia and Pennsylvania. These records indicated that two species, Cambarus bartoni and Orconectes obscurus, now occupy the Cheat system. Litera- ture records occur for Cambarus bartoni carinirostris (Faxon, 1914; Ortmann, 1931) and Cambarus carolinus (Ortmann, 1931) in addition to the forms mentioned. Bick et al. (1953) have reviewed the meager literature relating to the ecology of acid mine streams. Bowden (1961) has called attention to the effects of strip mines on faunal ecologies. The former have also shown the detrimental effects to the fauna and ecology of a Louisiana acid stream after it was altered by channel dredging. A casual scanning of the data will reveal peculiarities in the distributions of the present species. C. bartoni, although taken at 138 stations of the 233 sampled (fig. 1), is absent today from the central portion and a number of the tributaries of the Cheat system. The greatest number of collections was made in the head- waters of the system. 0. obscurus (fig. 2) occurs in only a few of the lower elevation streams, and was absent from the headwaters and central zone of the watershed. C. b. carinirostris (fig. 1), a species once described from the Cheat system and whose center of abundance was believed to be in the Cheat system streams of Randolph, Tucker, and Pocahontas counties (Faxon, 1914), was not found during the present study.

DEPARTMENT OP THE INTEKIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, Washington, D.

WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

  • WVWA Ranked List of Rivers
    WVWA’s Ranked Lists of Rivers, Streams and Creeks The following two lists are a ranking of river sections by paddling difficulty, from easier to more difficult. The rivers were ranked at a flow that a paddler is likely to encounter at an enjoyable level. The sections of larger rivers were ranked assuming a flow somewhere between 1,000 and 3,000 cfs. The creeks and smaller rivers were ranked with a flow somewhere between 200 and 1,000 cfs. A minimum stage or flow is also listed but was not used for ranking purposes. This minimum level may be easier or more difficult and is only listed to indicate a minimum "doable" level. When a classification appears in parentheses it indicates one rapid which is harder that the rapids on the rest of the run. For example, Class II-III+(IV) indicates that one rapid of class IV difficulty may be expected. An * appearing after a river name indicates that adjoining river mileage may be paddled but the additional mileage is harder and may affect the ranking of the river. An ** appearing after the minimum level indicates that a visual gauge is commonly used and a paddler may have to use a conversion factor to obtain that reading. These ranking began with a compilation of rivers and creeks by WVWA member Turner Sharp. The compilations were sent to 25 WVWA members for ranking. Eleven were returned and were used in these rankings. These ranked lists are an attempt to have a consistent method of labeling rivers by difficulty when organizing a trip schedule.

  • Regulations Summary 2019
    WEST VIRGINIA FISHINGRegulations Summary 2019 wvdnr.gov From the Director Last year the DNR released an updated, online interactive map that provides valuable information on all aspects of fishing and hunting adventures. DNR personnel are continuing to update information and produce new, useful maps. After hearing about the need from anglers in an online survey, DNR personnel collected lake depth data and processed new bathymetry maps for 35 lakes across the state. These maps are now available on the interactive fishing map and downloadable to print or take with you on your mobile device. Also, anglers can now access the real-time streamflow conditions from the U.S. Geological Survey on our interactive fishing map. The real-time information allows anglers to check on flow and make decisions about whether fishing conditions are ideal before heading out to a stream or river. Visit wvdnr.gov/gis for more details and links to the interactive map and other map pages. You helped fund this project through the Sport Fish Restoration Program, using excise taxes on selected fishing equipment and boat fuel. I encourage you to take advantage of West Virginia’s abundant natural resources and go fishing every chance you get. And take a friend or family member with you. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Stephen S. McDaniel, DNR Director DISTRICT OFFICES Main Office - South Charleston, WV 25303 324 4th Avenue Fish Management − Mark T.
