Attached is the flood plain map for the McCloud River Watershed. 

Based on this map, the current land uses are appropriate for the types of weather and activities that surround the McCloud River watershed. Very little of the McCloud River watershed has currently been taken over by urban land and human activity, allowing for a natural and serene landscape within the area.
