P NWI Wetlands > 10 Acres h M L The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) uses aerial photographs from the mid-1980s to a T Town of Lee t ta identify wetlands based on vegetation, hydrology, and geography.

I A watershed includes all the land area that drains to a particular lake, stream, river, estuary, or the N L ocean. Numerous watersheds that flow to a smaller lake or stream or directly to the ocean are G T 168 E "nested" within these relatively large watersheds. Within these watersheds are still smaller o F b m E in ea I watersheds. tr E S B L r o k D In the NRCS (National Resources Conservation Service) system, the generic term for a watershed or ok n u e drainage area is "hydrologic unit." The formal terms sub-basin, watershed, and subwatershed refer k a to specific sizes of hydrologic units in the NRCS system: t t Holt a Pond M Major NRCS Sub-basin. Subdivisions of basins. The average size is about 450,000 acres. 6 NRCS Watershed. Subdivisions within a sub-basin. Average size is 40,000 to 250,000 acres. B e av er Subwatershed. Subdivisions within watersheds. Average size is 10,000 to 40,000 acres.
