Watershed Conservation Plan - Destination Erie

occurrence of registered archaeological sites (namely, Trout Run, Lake Erie (direct runoff), and Elk Creek);
(7) proximity to Connotton, Fredon, and Ottawa series soils; and (8) proximity to the Whittlesey and Warren
III Pleistocene beach strands, elevated at ca. 225.5 m (740 ft) and 204.2 m (670 ft) above msl, respectively.
Figure 3.4 shows a polygon (keyed as "high potential for [archaeological] site discovery") that
schematically represents the zones described in items 7 and 8, above, which have been combined and
simplified for the purposes of display and planning. (The actual boundaries for one of the components [i.e.,
the above-described soil units] are quite complex and thus unsuited to display at the scales represented
herein.) This zone measures ca. 208 km 2 , and represents ca 36.5 % of the Eastern Lake section physiographic
zone or ca. 15.8% of the entire study area. It will be considered in evaluating areas for conservation initiatives
later in this document.
Finally, the PHMC lists 127 historically significant properties as either eligible for inclusion (n=92) or
listed (n=35) in the NRHP. Those properties are summarized in Table 3.3.

in the study area, based the mapped locations of the Connotton, Fredon, and Ottawa series soils as
well as the Whittlesey and Warren III Pleistocene beach strands.
