Western Crab Orchard Creek Watershed-based Plan

Development of the Western Crab Orchard Creek Watershed-based Plan began in November of 2018. The first part of the watershed-based plan was completing the Western Crab Orchard Creek Inventory and Assessment. This involved characterizing the watershed through research, utilizing spatial data, and assessing certain watershed features. The inventory and assessment can be viewed below.

The study area includes three HUC 12 subwatersheds. This includes: Drury Creek, Indian Creek- Drury Creek, and Little Crab Orchard Creek- Crab Orchard Creek. The basin includes drainage areas that extend from Cobden to Carbondale.

Public involvement is an important step in making a watershed-based plan successful. Find out how you can help below. If you have any questions regarding plan development please contact Tyler Carpenter at Greater Egypt.
