Interactive watershed mapping system
Visit http://manitowoc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=c38b2149d3b947eb9bd120f5480c4a1e to see and use Bruce Riesterer’s new mapping system to view your lake’s watershed boundaries. The boundaries are now more accurate because of new lidar-generated elevation data recently made available. Bruce asks that people take a look at the watershed for their lake(s) and let him know immediately if they see something that doesn’t seem accurate (e.g., placement of culverts). You can contact him at bruceriesterer@co.manitowoc.wi.us
