These maps were completed by R.P. Bio Dave Clough and practicum student Alex Cooper for a project called Lost Streams of Nanaimo. The project showed the impacts to watersheds and urban streams of loss of segments, encroachment and impermeable area for Walley Creek (below), as well as the Cat Stream , Chase River, Millstone River, and Harewood Creek.
