Vermont Brook Trout Habitat |

In recent weeks, a new mapping source has become available on a trial
basis which maps brook trout habitat along the east coast. A low
resolution map is shown below. It's interesting to scroll down to
the original stream map we created using elevation contours.
You'll note a very high correlation between the green/yellow areas (the
best brook trout habitat) and elevation. The few high-elevation
areas which are marked red are most likely areas where habitat
degradation has occurred, most likely from development (ski areas?). Click on the brook trout habitat map (or here) to download a much higher resolution PDF stream map of the state.
