Johns Creek (Oostanaula River Tributary)
Johns Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is a tributary of the Oostanaula River and was named in honor of John Fields, a local Cherokee Indian. Course Johns Creek originates on the eastern slope of Johns Mountain in Walker County. From there, the stream flows south through the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest into Floyd County. South of the Floyd-Gordon county line, Johns Creek is joined by Pocket Creek and briefly flows west for about before turning south again. From there, the stream passes by Everett Springs. South of the national forest, Johns Creek forms the boundary between Floyd and Gordon counties, passing under Georgia State Route 156. Eventually, the stream empties into the Oostanaula River.nhd (MapServer) nationalmap.gov. Retrieved 13 November 2017. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rivers Of Gordon County, Georgia
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. Rivers are part of the water cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, a ...

'' M. cahabae'' of the Cahaba River system, '' M. chattahoochae'' of the Chattahoochee River system, '' M. tallapoosae'' of the Tallapoosa River system and '' M. warriorensis'' of the Black Warrior River system were all recognized as separate species.

The dorsal fin contains nine to 11 (usually 10) spines and 11 to 13 (usually 12) rays, and the area betwee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fish Stocking
Fish stocking is the practice of raising fish in a hatchery and releasing them into a river, lake or ocean to supplement existing populations or to create a population where previously none exists. Stocking may be done for the benefit of commercial, recreational or tribal heritage fishing, but may also be done to restore or increase the population of threatened or endangered fish in a body of water closed to fishing. Fish stocking may be conducted by governmental agencies in public waters, or by private groups in private waters. When in public waters, fish stocking creates a common-pool resource which is rivalrous in nature but non-excludable. Thus, on public grounds, all can enjoy the benefits of fishing so long as fish continue to be stocked. History Fish stocking is a practice that dates back hundreds of years. According to biologist Edwin Pister, widespread trout stocking dates back to the 1800s. For the first hundred years of stocking, the location and number of fish introdu ...

Rainbow Trout
The rainbow trout (''Oncorhynchus mykiss'') is a species of trout native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. The steelhead (sometimes called "steelhead trout") is an anadromous (sea-run) form of the coastal rainbow trout or Columbia River redband trout that usually returns to freshwater to spawn after living two to three years in the ocean. Freshwater forms that have been introduced into the Great Lakes and migrate into tributaries to spawn are also called steelhead. Adult freshwater stream rainbow trout average between , while lake-dwelling and anadromous forms may reach . Coloration varies widely based on subspecies, forms, and habitat. Adult fish are distinguished by a broad reddish stripe along the lateral line, from gills to the tail, which is most vivid in breeding males. Wild-caught and hatchery-reared forms of the species have been transplanted and introduced for food or sport in at least 45 countries and every continent except ...

Cherokee
The Cherokee (; chr, ᎠᏂᏴᏫᏯᎢ, translit=Aniyvwiyaʔi or Anigiduwagi, or chr, ᏣᎳᎩ, links=no, translit=Tsalagi) are one of the indigenous peoples of the Southeastern Woodlands of the United States. Prior to the 18th century, they were concentrated in their homelands, in towns along river valleys of what is now southwestern North Carolina, southeastern Tennessee, edges of western South Carolina, northern Georgia, and northeastern Alabama. The Cherokee language is part of the Iroquoian language group. In the 19th century, James Mooney, an early American ethnographer, recorded one oral tradition that told of the tribe having migrated south in ancient times from the Great Lakes region, where other Iroquoian peoples have been based. However, anthropologist Thomas R. Whyte, writing in 2007, dated the split among the peoples as occurring earlier. He believes that the origin of the proto-Iroquoian language was likely the Appalachian region, and the split betw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
