Goslee Creek (Love Creek Tributary)
Goslee Creek is a long 1st order tributary to Love Creek, in Sussex County, Delaware. Variant names According to the Geographic Names Information System, it has also been known historically as: *Gosling Creek Course Goslee Creek rises on the Black Hog Gut divide about 0.25 miles north of Jimtown in Sussex County, Delaware. Goslee Creek then flows south-southwest to meet Love Creek within Goslee Millpond. Watershed Goslee Creek drains of area, receives about 45.4 in/year of precipitation, has a topographic wetness index The topographic wetness index (TWI), also known as the compound topographic index (CTI), is a steady state wetness index.

Love Creek (Rehoboth Bay Tributary)
Love Creek is a long 3rd order tributary to Rehoboth Bay, in Sussex County, Delaware. Except for the part in Goslee Millpond, the creek is entirely tidal. Course Love Creek is formed at the confluence of Goslee Creek and Bundicks Branch within Goslee Millpond in Sussex County, Delaware. Love Creek then flows southeast to meet Rehoboth Bay about 0.1 miles south of Old Landing. The Love Creek Bridge clearance is 8'7" at low tide and 6' at high tide. The pier water depth is 5' at high tide and 2'6" at low tide. Watershed Love Creek drains of area, receives about 45.3 in/year of precipitation, has a topographic wetness index The topographic wetness index (TWI), also known as the compound topographic index (CTI), is a steady state wetness index.

Sussex County, Delaware
Sussex County is located in the southern part of the U.S. state of Delaware, on the Delmarva Peninsula. As of the 2020 census, the population was 237,378. The county seat is Georgetown. The first European settlement in the state of Delaware was founded by the Dutch in 1631 near the present-day town of Lewes on the Atlantic Coast. However, Sussex County was not organized until 1683 under English colonial rule. Sussex County is included in the Salisbury, MD-DE Metropolitan Statistical Area which encompasses much of central Delmarva. History Beginnings Archaeologists estimate that the first inhabitants of Sussex County, the southernmost county in Delaware, arrived between 10,000 and 14,000 years ago. Various indigenous cultures occupied the area, especially along the river and the coast, often having seasonal fishing villages. Historic Native Americans in Sussex County were members of Algonquian-speaking tribes, as were most coastal peoples along the Atlantic Coast. By t ...

Geographic Names Information System
The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is a database of name and locative information about more than two million physical and cultural features throughout the United States and its territories, Antarctica, and the associated states of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau. It is a type of gazetteer. It was developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN) to promote the standardization of feature names. Data were collected in two phases. Although a third phase was considered, which would have handled name changes where local usages differed from maps, it was never begun. The database is part of a system that includes topographic map names and bibliographic references. The names of books and historic maps that confirm the feature or place name are cited. Variant names, alternatives to official federal names for a feature, are also recorded. Each feature receives ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Topographic Wetness Index
The topographic wetness index (TWI), also known as the compound topographic index (CTI), is a steady state wetness index. It is commonly used to quantify topographic control on hydrological processes. The index is a function of both the slope and the upstream contributing area per unit width orthogonal to the flow direction. The index was designed for hillslope catenas. Accumulation numbers in flat areas will be very large, so TWI will not be a relevant variable. The index is highly correlated with several soil attributes such as horizon depth, silt percentage, organic matter content, and phosphorus. Methods of computing this index differ primarily in the way the upslope contributing area is calculated. Definition The topographic wetness index is defined as: \ln where a is the local upslope area draining through a certain point per unit contour length and \tan b is the local slope in radians. The TWI has been used to study spatial scale effects on hydrological processes. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
