Historical Land Use Characterization of the Emory River Watershed 1946 - 2001 Cookeville ES GIS staff recently completed an historical land use characterization of the Emory River Watershed. The Emory River is located in east central Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau and includes the City of Crossville. The Emory serves as a headwaters section of the Tennessee River watershed and supplies water to the city of Crossville, the retirement community of Fairfield Glade and surrounding areas. Accelerated growth of these areas has placed stresses on resources and is approaching critical habitat areas for endangered species. Biological staff requested a GIS analysis of how the watershed had changed over time. They intend to relate that information to a biological inventory that is being performed to document spotfin chub distribution in the watershed to determine if there is a correlation between the distribution and land cover change. They plan to use the findings from the land cover analysis to initiate discussions with county officials to formulate ways to protect the resource base. more... |
