    This is a map shows the distribution of salmonids in the Elk River sub-basin.  Chinook and steelhead distribution were obtained from NOAA.  Potential coho habitat was 
calculated from stream gradient.  Gradients less than or equal to 4 percent from the outflow were selected and saved.  Any gradient steeper than 4% served as a cutoff 
for any further potential migration up stream.  These data are preliminary only, and were produced with the understanding that coho salmon are able to leap greater 
than 4% for short distances.  Therefore, the data are considered conservative estimates.
