Lockwoods Folly Watershed Flood Plain and Alluvial Soils

Image
 The Lockwoods Folly Watershed is located in Southeastern, North Carolina. This gives the watershed a unique location for flooding and soil types. Flooding is common throughout the region because of the Atlantic Ocean, vast rivers (Lockwoods Folly and Cape Fear Rivers), elevation to sea level, and the vast number of tributaries.  This image shows the entire Lockwoods Folly Watershed. The blue area represents flood plains. As shown, there is a large amount of land cover that is at risk for flooding.  This image shows a zoomed in area of the watershed. The dark blue indicates the highest flooding zones.
