This map illustrates the Hickahala Creek Subwatershed in northern Mississippi, highlighting its topography, hydrology, and monitoring infrastructure.
Main Map (left):
The subwatershed boundary is outlined in black.
Elevation data from a USGS Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is classified into five ranges (63–176 meters) and displayed in color gradients, from lower elevations (brown) to higher elevations (blue).
The river and stream network is shown in light blue, including the primary river reaches (HWD_Reach) and secondary streams (WD_RIVERS).
Gauging stations are marked as green dots with black outlines, distributed throughout the watershed to monitor hydrological parameters.
Inset Map (bottom right):
Shows the location of the Hickahala Creek Subwatershed (black polygon) within Mississippi, with the county boundaries and the subregion highlighted in pink.
Legend (top right):
Explains the symbology for elevation, water bodies, river network, and monitoring stations.
Overall, the map provides a spatial overview of the watershed’s physical and hydrological features, supporting environmental monitoring, water resource management, and geospatial analysis.
