Water Shed	Stream	Area	First Record	Notch	Elevation At Weir	Max Elevation	Max Discharge	Aspect	Summary
1	Copper Branch	16 ha	6/13/1934	90 V-notch	705 m	988 m	2.29 m3sec-1km-2	South	Entire watershed prescribed burned in April, 1942. All trees and shrubs within the cove-hardwood type (areas adjacent to stream) deadened with chemicals in 1954. This treatment represented 25% of both land and area and total watershed basal area. Retreated as necessary for three consecutive growing seasons. All trees and shrubs cut and burned in 1956-57, no products removed; white pine planted in 1957. In subsequent years, pine released from hardwood competition by cutting and chemicals as necessary.
2	Shope Branch	12 ha	6/22/1934	90 V-notch	709 m	1004 m	2.41 m3sec-1km-2	SSE	Controls with mixed hardwoods stands remaining undisturbed since 1927.
3	Little Hurricane	9 ha	7/5/1934	CIA deep notch	739 m	931 m	20.27 m3sec-1km-2	East	All vegetation cut and burned or removed from the watershed in 1940. Unregulated agriculture (farming and grazing) on 6 ha for a 12-year period, followed by planting yellow poplar and white pine.
6	Sawmill Branch	9 ha	7/10/1934	90 V-notch	696 m	905 m	3.76 m3sec-1km-2	NW	All woody vegetation cut and scattered in the zone 5 m vertically above the stream; reduced total watershed basal area 12%. Clearcut in 1958, products removed and remaining residue piled and burned. Surface soil scarified, watershed planted to grass, limed and fertilized in 1959; fertilized again in 1965. Grass herbicide treatment in 1966 and 1967; watershed subsequently reverted to successional vegetation.
7	Big Hurricane	59 ha	7/31/1934	90 V-notch	722 m	1077 m	2.18 m3sec-1km-2	South	Lower portion of watershed grazed by an average of six cattle during 5-month period each year from 1941-1952. Commercially clearcut and cable logged in 1977.
10	Camprock Creek	86 ha	3/7/1936	120 V-notch	742 m	1159 m	0.85 m3sec-1km-2	SSE	Exploitive selective logging during the period 1942-1956 with a 30% reduction in total watershed basal area.Stream flow data were collected from 07 March 1936 to October 1954. The weir was removed in 1976 while building the lower access road in preparation for the watershed 7 logging treatment.
11	Carpenter Creek	16 ha	3/12/1936	120 V-notch	725 m	912 m	1.09 m3sec-1km-2	ENE	All woody vegetation cut in 1939 and allowed to re-grow until 1962 when the watershed was again clearcut; no products removed in either treatments.
14	Hugh White Branch	61 ha	5/26/1936	120 V-notch	707 m	992 m	1.11 m3sec-1km-2	NW	Control with mixed hardwood stands remaining undisturbed since 1927.
17	Hertzler Branch	13 ha	6/6/1936	90 V-notch	760 m	1021 m	1.06 m3sec-1km-2	Northwest	All woody vegetation cut in 1940 and re-growth cut annually thereafter in most years until 1955; no products removed. White pine planted in 1956 and released from hardwood competition as required with cutting or chemicals.
19	Snake Den Branch	28 ha	5/16/1941	120 V-notch	796 m	1119 m	1.28 m3sec-1km-2	Northwest	All woody vegetation cut in 1940 and re-growth cut annually thereafter in most years until 1955; no products removed. White pine planted in 1956 and released from hardwood competition as required with cutting or chemicals.
