An Introduction to Michigan Watersheds for Teachers, Students and Residents The diagrams, explanations and teaching resources in this guide are intended to complement the use of the Michigan Watersheds Map.
The guide helps illustrate and explore the following points: • We all live in and depend on watersheds. • Michigan's geology, climate and land use influence the flow of water through our watersheds and rivers. • Our actions on land impact the health of our groundwater, rivers and lakes.
Poster size: 26 x 37 inches - vertical alignment, full color. The map is based on
high-resolution geographic data that was processed by our partners at
the USGS Great Lakes Science Center. It shows watershed boundaries at a
local level, and also at a "greater" level, demonstrating how drainages
can be divided on different scales.
