This color map depicts the general distribution and health of chinook stocks in several King County rivers based on a 1997 study by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. The chinook information overlays land cover imagery that was interpreted from 1995 satellite data, combined with shaded relief imagery that was calculated from a digital elevation model. Other information depicted on the map includes rivers, streams, lakes, and Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) in King County. The background image has been resampled to minimize file size and downloading time. File format is Adobe Acrobat version 3.
