The purposes of this study were:
1) to review the land use history of Oak Creek
watershed since European settlement. And 2) to
consider the human-caused impacts and their effects
associated with different land uses. The study area
was classified into three land use patterns: residential,
agricultural, and forested areas.
Since the European settlement in the mid 1840's, the
Oak Creek watershed has experienced changes of land use
simultaneous with the development of the city of Corvallis
and its vicinity. Associated with this, different impacts
have occurred on riparian areas. By and large, these
impacts were inherent to each land use. / Graduation date: 1993
