Two scales of geopdfs for Ch’eet’ Taayí watershed.
Ch’eet’ Taayí, murrelet fat (Cowee Creek)
Ch’eet’ Taayí, murrelet fat, on Wooshkeetaan land, is the real name of “Cowee Creek,” named by Euros for a Leeneidí shaman.
A description of Cowee-Davies, relative to the other 9 watersheds studied during our CBJ Natural History Project, is basically all superlatives: wildest, biggest, fishiest, beariest, most forested-glaciated-uplifted and most ecologically indispensable to our borough. Its most popular attractions today are trails threading the lovely lower meadows. But the upper watershed is equally rich and spectacular.
For an annotated version of this geology map, see our 4-fold interpretive brochure.
