DWQ Environmental Sensitivity Maps by County

Description
The county maps available here do not replace any rule or regulation, nor do they show all regulated waters. What these maps do show are classified (named and unamed) waters, and the following datalayers are represented. However, please note that the maps on this page are PDF format, therefore, zooming DOES NOT increase resolution: All maps are in PDF form and thus require a PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat.

Purchase Maps
You may purchase a 36" x 44" paper version of any map for $20 each. To purchase any of these maps, or to further customize a map, please contact CGIA staff at (919) 715-0713 and ask for the Environmental Sensitivity Maps.
