Stream Drainage Pattern: The path of streams/rivers in a watershed.
Procedure A: Area Elevation High Elevation = Red [Mountains] Middle Elevation = Yellow [Plateaus] Low Elevation = Green [Lowlands/Plain] Color AND label map on page 126 using page 2 of your ESRT as a guide HIGH MEDIUM LOW
Procedure B: Surface Drainage Systems Trace and label watersheds listed on page 124 on Map 2 on page 126 using page 3 of your ESRT as a guide.
Procedure C: Geographic Ages and Bedrock Geology Use page 3 of your ESRT to list the age and type of bedrock at each specified location. For example: High/mountain elevations are: Age: Middle Proterzoic Type: Intensely Metamorphic
Intensely Metamorphic Age Period/Era Type Sedimentary Metamorphic Intensely Metamorphic
